Problem 1: anaysis using APDL : 3D Analysis of beam with Concentrated Load on Corner

Firstly Go to ANSYS>ANSYS APDL Product Launcher. New window will open. Select ANSYS Multiphysiscs  under the License. Now click on Run Tab.

Now New window will open.

Now you Go to Main Menu > Preferences. New dialog box Preferences for GUI Filtering will open. Select structural in Dailog Box. Then click on OK tab.

Now Go to Main Menu > Preprocessor > Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete. Then new dialog box with name of Elements type will open. Now, click on Add…. Then a new dialog box will open Library of Element Types will open. Select solid in first dialog box and 20node 186 in second column. Then click on OK button. Then dialog box will be close. Then click on Close tab in Elements type dialog box.

Now go to Main Menu > Preprocessor > Material Models. New dailog box Define Material Model Behaviour will will open. Select Material Model number 1 From Material Model Defined Column. Then select Structural > Linear > Isotropic from Material Models Available column.

Then new dialog box Linear Isotropic Properties for Material Number 1 will open. Type 200000000000 in Ex and 0.3 in PRXY. Now click on OK Button to close dialog box. Now close Define Material Model Behaviour dialog box.

Now go to Main Menu>Preprocessor > Modeling > Create > Volumes > Block > By Dimensions. Now new dialog Box Create Dialog Box by Dimensions will open.

Insert 0, 2, 0, 0.25, 0, and 0.08 in X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Z1 and Z2 field respectively.

Click on OK to generate the required geometry.

Now go to Main Menu > Preprocessor > Meshing > Size control > Manual Size > Global > Size. New Dialog box Global Element sizes will open. Type 0.01 in Size Element edge length insert field (As per your system resources are available). Click on Ok to close the dialog box.

Now go to Main Menu > Preprocessor > Meshing >Mesh Tool. A new dialog box will come in right side,  named Mesh tool. Click on Mesh Button. Then new dialog box will open. Then you have to select the geometry. Then click on OK button.

Now meshing is started.

When meshing is done, click on Close button to close the Mesh tool dialog box.

Now go to Main Menu > Preprocessor > Loads > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > on Areas.

Then a new dialog box will open. Select face on which you have to apply fixed support. Then click on Ok button in dialog box.

Then a new dialog box will open. Select All DOF in DOFs to be constrained selection field. This will restrict all the degree of freedom at specified Surface. Then click on OK button in Dialog Box to apply the condition and close the dialog Box.

Now go to Main Menu > Preprocessor > Loads > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Force/Moment > On Keypoints. Then new dialog box will open. Now select the point where you want to apply load. Click on Ok button to apply & close the dialog box.

Then new dialog box Apply F/M on KPs will open. Select FY from Direction of force/mom selection field. Type -1000 in Force/moment value insert field. Now click on OK button.

Now go to Main Menu > Solution > Current LS. New dialog box will be open. Click on OK button to start analysis.

Now solution is done.

Now go to Main Menu > General PostProc > Plot Results > Contour Plot > Nodal Solu. New dialog box will open. Now go to Nodal Solution > DOF Solution > Displacement vector sum. Click on OK button to apply this.

Then the following Result will come.
