2D BEAMS

Applying loads:12. Solution > Define loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > On keypoints >(Pick first keypoint and fix all DOF)13. Solution > Define loads > Apply > Structural > Force /Moment > On keypoints(Pick keypoint at the end of the beam and apply Fy = ‐80)14. Solution > Define loads > Apply > Structural > Pressure > On beams(Select the “box” radio button and select the desired elements)(apply a pressure of VALI = 1.67, where 20 lbs/ft = 1.67 lbs/in; note that a unit thickness of loadapplication is assumed; if you don’t enter a VALJ value, then ANSYS assumes a uniform load)15. Solution > Solve > Current LSPost processing:16. General Postproc > Plot results > Deformed shape > Def + undef edge17. General Postproc > Element table > Define table > AddName =SMAXI, by sequence number > NMISC= 118. General Postproc > Element table > Define table > AddName =SMAXJ, by sequence number > NMISC= 3
