Analyze an eight-meter beam under a uniformly distributed load using ANSYS APDL, with steel properties, beam 188, a 0.1 by 0.15 cross-section, and shear and bending moment diagrams.
Define boundary conditions and loads for a simply supported UDL beam, apply a -3000 N vertical force and a 200 N/m left-side load, verify reactions, and plot deformation.
Analyze a stepped bar with two joined bars fixed on the left and loaded by five kilonewton and ten kilonewton, using steel and aluminum with areas of 150 and 100.
Create nodes and elements, assign materials and sections, apply boundary conditions and loads, solve the model, and post-process nodal displacements, reactions, and element stresses to view the deformed shape.
Learn to perform truss analysis in ANSYS mechanical APDL, defining a link 180 member, 200 mm square section, fixed and roller supports, a vertical load, and post-processing displacements and reactions.
Extract the mid surface of a thin plate and apply thickness for a two-dimensional analysis. Reduce elements and nodes, speed solving, and support sheet metal and plastic parts.
Create a 3d plate by extruding a block, subtract a cylinder, mesh with hex or sweep, fix the left face, apply 100 MPa pressure, solve, and review deformation and stresses.
Develop and analyze a steady-state heat conduction problem in a copper cylinder by building a brick element model, refining the mesh, applying boundary temperatures, and examining nodal temperature distribution.
