Attach Geometry
When 2D geometry is used, Generalized Plane Strain is not supported for the Samcef or
ABAQUS solver.
Define Connections
Contact, joints, springs, beams, mesh connections, and end releases are all valid in a static
structural analysis. For the Samcef and ABAQUS solvers, only contacts, springs, and beams
are supported. Joints are not supported.
If you want to include nonlinearities, the mesh should be able to capture the effects of the
nonlinearities. For example, plasticity requires a reasonable integration point density (and
therefore a fine element mesh) in areas with high plastic deformation gradients.
Loads and supports vary as a function of time even in a static analysis as explained in the Role
of Time in Tracking. In a static analysis, the load's magnitude could be a constant value or
could vary with time as defined in a table or via a function.
Solve
When performing a nonlinear analysis you may encounter convergence difficulties due to a
number of reasons. Some examples may be initially open contact surfaces causing rigid body
motion, large load increments causing non-convergence, material instabilities, or large
deformations causing mesh distortion that result in element shape errors. To identify possible
problem areas some tools are available under Solution Information object Details view.
Solution Output continuously updates any listing output from the solver and provides valuable
information on the behavior of the structure during the analysis. Any convergence data output
in this printout can be graphically displayed as explained in the Solution Information section.
Review Results
All structural result types except frequencies are available as a result of a static structural
analysis. You can use a Solution Information object to track, monitor, or diagnose problems
that arise during a solution. Once a solution is available you can contour the results or animate
the results to review the response of the structure.
As a result of a nonlinear static analysis you may have a solution at several time points. You
can use probes to display the variation of a result item as the load increases. An example might
be large deformation analyses that result in buckling of the structure. In these cases it is also of
interest to plot one result quantity (for example, displacement at a vertex) against another
results item (for example, applied load). You can use the Charts feature to develop such charts.

Procedure
1. First of all, open Static Structure Analysis form left toolbox of Analysis Systems
2. Then double click on engineering data to select any material of the specimen or to
change the required properties or specifications of a material.
3. Back to the work bench, open geometry and draw the framing of the specimen
according to given data.
4. Now mesh the model and apply boundary conditions. Then save the project.
5. Insert the analysis quantities you want to check i.e. stress, deformation, after it solve.
6. It will show the ANSYS analysis of stress and deformation in geometry window. The
minimum and maximum values will be shown on side with colors.
7. Save the images of all analysis and save the project report

Comments
From the given data, pre-hand calculations show that the value for max. deformation is
1.453mmand the values obtained by the ANSYS analysis is 1.46. So, the results from both is
almost equal. The ANSYS software provides ease for determining the exact value of the
deformation, deflection, stresses, strains etc. that are induced in the structure due to the applied
load.
