2. Material of the beam: The material of the beam is taken as structural

steel. Which has following properties

3. Ansys analysis steps:

Step1. Start the workbench module of ansys.

Step2. Select the static structural

100mm

100mm

4mm

1000mm

Force Fy=100N

1. Drawing of beam

x

y

Step3. Select Engineering data and double click on it. A window will

open from where choose library icon.

This library will show different materials in it. From here choose structral steel.

Step 4: return to project: go to geometry tab which will open Ansys modeller.

Form here design the 3d model of cantilever beam given in question.

Step 5: return back to the project and choose the model

option form work bench. From the modeller choose mesh

from the project tree.

Meshing: Meshing option will provide different option given below in the box

naming “Details of mesh”. From this option set sizing of mesh as fine. Then

click generate to generate the mesh. This will generate following meshing.

Step6 Supports : click the supports command

from the menu bar of ansys model module.

And provide fixed support at any one of the cross section of the beam.

Step 7 loading: Select the loads button from

menu bar

Apply load of -100 N at the other end of cross

section of the beam in y direction ,.

Step 8 Solution: select the solution link from the tree diagram and select

whatever solution you want , in our case it is the deformation, equivalent

stress and strain ( von mises) .

Finally click on solve option given on top at the title bar and let the program

solve the given condition. Finally the results will be generated.

1. Deformation:

2. Elastic strain:

3. Elastic stress:
