Experiment N0: 01 Static Analysis of cantilever beam

Compute the Shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam shown and find the
maximum deflection. Assume rectangular c/s area of 0.2 m * 0.3 m, Young’s modulus of 210
GPa, Poisson’s ratio 0.27.
2000N

4000mm

AIM:
To perform analysis of a cantilever beam with point load and to find the maximum
deflection.
HARDWARE REQUIRED:
o Intel processor.
o A colour monitor with highest 64 bit colour display and with screen resolution 1024
by 768 pixels.
o Keyboard and a scroll mouse.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:
o Windows 7 operating system
o Ansys 17

PROCEDURE:
Step 1: Ansys Utility Menu
File – clear and start new – do not read file – ok – yes.

Step 2: Ansys Main Menu – Preferences


Select – STRUCTURAL - ok

Step 3: Preprocessor
Element type – Add/Edit/Delete–Add–BEAM–2node 188–ok- close.
Material Properties – material models–Structural–Linear–Elastic–Isotropic–EX–
210e3– PRXY – 0.27 –ok – close.
Sections- Beam- Common sections-Beam Tool- Sub-type-Select Square Section-B-
200 mm- H-100 mm

Step 4: Preprocessor
Modeling – Create–Nodes–In Active CS–Apply (first node is created)–x,y,z location
in CS– 4000 (x value w.r.t first node) – ok (second node is created).
Create – Elements – Auto numbered – Thru Nodes – pick 1 & 2 – ok (elements are
created through nodes).

Step 5: Preprocessor
Loads – Define loads – apply – Structural – Displacement – on Nodes- pick node 1 –
apply – DOFs to be constrained – ALL DOF – ok.

Loads – Define loads – apply – Structural – Force/Moment – on Nodes- pick node 2 –


apply – direction of For/Mom – FY – Force/Moment value - 2000 (-ve value) – ok.

Step 6: Solution
Solve – current LS – ok (Solution is done is displayed) – close.

Step 7: General Post Processor


Plot Results – Deformed Shape – def+undeformed – ok.
Plot Results – Contour plot – Nodal solu – DOF solution – displacement vector sum –
ok.

Step 8: General Post Processor


List Results – reaction solution – items to be listed – All items – ok (reaction forces
will be displayed with the node numbers).

List Results – Nodal loads – items to be listed – All items – ok (Nodal loads will be
displayed with the node numbers).

Step 9: PlotCtrls –Animate–Deformed results–DOF solution–USUM–ok.


RESULT
Thus the static analysis of a cantilever beam was performed and the maximum
deflection was ________________.
