 For P=10,000N,I=2.66*10-4m4,E=2.1*1011 Pa, L1=3m and L2=1.5m, then the above

 Then from equation (4)
4V2+2𝜃2 -3.5556V3+2.6667𝜃3 = −1.78 ∗ 𝑒 − 4………………………... (a)
2V2+4𝜃2 -2.6667V3+1.3333𝜃3 = 0……………………………….............(b)

2.6667V2+1.3333𝜃2 -2.6667V3+2.6667𝜃3 =0 …………………………… (d)
 Thus solving the above equations and we get the following solutions
V2=-0.0016m V3=-0.0028m
𝜽𝟐 = −0.0008 𝒓𝒂𝒅 𝜽𝟑 =-0.0008rad
 To find the reaction force and moment at point -1, we can use the static equilibrium
equations.
∑ 𝐹𝑦=0 , F1y=P
∑ 𝑀=0 , M1=3m*10*103N=30000N.m
 Therefore the stress at point -1 is

V2= -0.0016m V3= -0.0028m
𝜽𝟐 = −𝟎. 𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟖𝒓𝒂𝒅 𝜽𝟑 = −𝟎. 𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟖𝒓𝒂𝒅

Conclusion [comparison the two solutions]

 The ANSYS solutions are lower than the solutions obtained by manual hand calculation.
 Thus by manual hand calculation there may be some errors like human error and
numbering error. Therefore the answer obtained by hand calculation is somewhat
different from ANSYS solutions.
2. Solve the given frame structure using MATLAB program and compare the
results with that of Ansys.

function [kk,ff]=feaplyc2(kk,ff,bcdof,bcval)
%----------------------------------------------------------
% Purpose:
% Apply constraints to matrix equation [kk]{x}={ff}
% Synopsis:
% [kk,ff]=feaplybc(kk,ff,bcdof,bcval)
% kk - system matrix before applying constraints
% ff - system vector before applying constraints
% bcdof - a vector containging constrained d.o.f
% bcval - a vector containing contained value
% For example, there are constraints at d.o.f=2 and 10
% and their constrained values are 0.0 and 2.5,
% respectively. Then, bcdof(1)=2 and bcdof(2)=10; and
% bcval(1)=1.0 and bcval(2)=2.5.
%-----------------------------------------------------------
n=length(bcdof);
sdof=size(kk);
for i=1:n
c=bcdof(i);
for j=1:sdof
kk(c,j)=0;
end
kk(c,c)=1;
ff(c)=bcval(i);
disp=zeros(sdof,1);
stress=zeros(nel,3);
eldisp=zeros(ndof,1);
for i=1:(nnel*ndof)
eldisp(i)=eldisp(index(i));
end
elforce=k*eldisp;
stress(iel)=sqrt(elforce(1)^2+elforce(2)^2)/area;
num=1:1:sdof;
eldisp1=[num;disp]
numm=1:1:nel;
stresses=[numm stress]
store=[num eldisp]
end

Conclusion
The comparison of the results by ANSYS and MATLAB software according to the above results
can concluded as follow
The solutions obtained by MATLAB are a little bit different from that of ANSYS
solution. Thus, the MATLAB solutions are lower than ANSYS solutions. This indicates
that if we increase mesh number on the ANSYS, the solution will approach to that of
MATLAB solution.
Therefore, the variation between MATLAB and ANSYS solutions are due to
discretization error. The fact that number of discretization element (mesh number)
increases, the answer will approach to the accurate solution.
Fine discretization gives more accurate solutions and the reverse is true that of coarse
discretization.
