Question

The Finite Element question below need to be solved using ANSYS Workbench. Kindly solve and provide the steps:

An axial load P = 100 x 103 N is applied as shown in Figure 1. Element Area (mm) Young's Modulus (Nmm2) 2 450 200x10 1600 30x103 300mm 200mm Fig.1 Using ANSYS workbench to determine the i. a) Nodal displacements b) Stress in each material c) Reaction forces i. P all the results and present in notepad and save

Answer 1

PRINT REACTION SOLUTIONS PER NODE

***** POST1 TOTAL REACTION SOLUTION LISTING *****

LOAD STEP= 1 SUBSTEP= 1   
TIME= 1.0000 LOAD CASE= 0   

THE FOLLOWING X,Y,Z SOLUTIONS ARE IN THE GLOBAL COORDINATE SYSTEM

NODE FX FY FZ
1 -21053. 0.0000 0.0000
3 -78947. 0.0000 0.0000

TOTAL VALUES
VALUE -0.10000E+06 0.0000 0.0000

PRINT U NODAL SOLUTION PER NODE

***** POST1 NODAL DEGREE OF FREEDOM LISTING *****

LOAD STEP= 1 SUBSTEP= 1   
TIME= 1.0000 LOAD CASE= 0   

THE FOLLOWING DEGREE OF FREEDOM RESULTS ARE IN THE GLOBAL COORDINATE SYSTEM
