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

For the analysis in Workbench, we have to divide the procedure in following step.

• Geometry
• Meshing
• Load and support
• Solve
• Result

In problem,

L = 2m, b = .25m, h = 0.8m, load = 1000N,

ANSYS Workbench

First go All Programs>ANSYS16.0>workbench, for open the workbench for analysis.

Then new window will open as shown below. This is welcome window of ANSYS workbench. In which there is Title bar, menu bar, Standard tool bar, toolbox, Project Schematic and properties of Project Schematic.

Go to Toolbox > Analysis System. Double click on “Static Structural” for structural analysis. Static structural analysis System will come on Project schematic.

Default material is Structural steel. So we do not have to select material. So, we will not go in Engineering Data tab.

Now we have to create the geometry. Double Click on Geometry tab for entering in Geometry workbench.Then there will be open a window & sub window. In Sub window u have to select unit meter. Then following window will open.

Now, Go to Tree outline box, select XYPlane. Now select look At Face/Plane/Sketch  .

Now select sketching tab, there will Tab – Draw, modify, dimensions, constraints, Settings. In Draw tab, select Rectangle tab. Now select origin in drawing space for specifying first point of rectangle. Then click on opposite corner to specify the second corner of rectangle.

Now Go to Dimensions tab select General. Now select horizontal line & place it below the line. Now select Vertical line of rectangle and place it aside of line. Now go to Detail View, type 2.5 and 0.25 for H1 and V2 respectively.

Now go to create menu, select Extrude Commend.

Now select sketch1 from tree outline then go to Detail View, click on apply ahead of Geometry tab & type 0.08 m in Depth Tab. Then click on Generate Tool.   

Now Close the window.

Analysis

Now Double click on Model tab. New window will open.

Go to Outline Tab,  select mesh from tree, and now go to detail box, then  expend sizing. Now type 0.01 in Element size. (It depend on your computer resources.)

Now right click on static structural in outline box. Select Force from expended list Select point cursor from selection toolbar. Select corner of beam created. Now go in Detail Box, type 1000 in Magnitude. Click on direction, when apply button is showing, Select the top face of Beam. Then apply the direction as per need. Then click on apply.

Again right click on Static structural, select Fixed Support , select another face of As shown in figure, on which you have to apply fixed support.

Now right click on Solution, select Deformation > Totaldeformation.  Then right click on total deformation select convergence.  Now click on Solve in Toolbar.

Then you result will be look like this.

Now Again right click on solution, select probe > Deformation Probe. Select point where you want to found the result. Now select total in Result Selection.
