Elemento finito
BEAM3 2-D Elastic Beam

BEAM3 is a uniaxial element with tension,

compression, and bending capabilities. The
element has three degrees of freedom at each
node: translations in the nodal x and y
directions and rotation about the nodal z-axis.

As características dos elementos é

disponibilizada no software. Deve, o
engenheiro, consultar esta biblioteca a
fim de escolher o elemento mais
apropriado para o seu modelo.
Element Name BEAM3
Nodes I, J
Degrees of Freedom UX, UY, ROTZ
Real Constants AREA, IZZ, HEIGHT, SHEARZ, ISTRN, ADDMAS
Material Properties EX, ALPX, DENS, GXY, DAMP
Pressure:
face 1 (I-J) (-Y normal direction),
face 2 (I-J) (+X tangential direction),
Surface Loads
face 3 (I) (+X axial direction),
face 4 (J) (-X axial direction)
(use a negative value for loading in the opposite direction)
Body Loads Temperatures: T1, T2, T3, T4
Special Features Stress stiffening, Large deflection, Birth and death
0 - No printout of member forces and moments
KEYOPT(6) 1 - Print out member forces and moments in the element coordinate
system
Used to control additional output between ends I and J
KEYOPT(9)
N - Output at N intermediate locations (N = 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)

Used only for tapered surface loads with the SFBEAM command.
KEYOPT(10) 0 - Offset for load placement is in terms of length units
1 - Offset is in terms of a length ratio (0.0 to 1.0)
EGEN, ITIME, NINC, IEL1, IEL2, IEINC, MINC, TINC, RINC, CINC, SINC
Generates elements from an existing pattern.
PREP7:Elements
Mp Me St DY LP Th E3 E2 FL PP ED ITIME, NINC
Do this generation operation a total of ITIMEs, incrementing all nodes in the given pattern by NINC
each time after the first. ITIME must be > 1 if generation is to occur. NINC may be positive, zero, or
negative.
IEL1, IEL2, IEINC
Generate elements from selected pattern beginning with IEL1 to IEL2 (defaults to IEL1) in steps of
IEINC (defaults to 1). If IEL1 is negative, IEL2 and IEINC are ignored and the last |IEL1| elements
(in sequence backward from the maximum element number) are used as the pattern to be
repeated. If IEL1 = ALL, IEL2 and IEINC are ignored and use all selected elements [ESEL] as
pattern to be repeated. If P1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are
ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for IEL1 (IEL2 and INC
are ignored).
MINC
Increment material number of all elements in the given pattern by MINC each time after the first.
TINC
Increment type number by TINC.
RINC
Increment real constant table number by RINC.
CINC
Increment element coordinate system number by CINC.
SINC
Increment section ID number by SINC.
R, NSET, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6
Defines the element real constants.
PREP7:RealConstants
Mp Me St DY LP Th E3 E2 FL PP ED NSET

Set identification number (arbitrary). If same as a previous set number, set is

redefined. Set number relates to that defined with the element [REAL].

R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6

Real constant values (interpreted as area, moment of inertia, thickness, etc., as
required for the particular element type using this set), or table names for tabular
input of boundary conditions. Use RMORE command if more than six real constants
per set are to be input.

ANSYS File Structure

During a typical ANSYS analysis, input and
Database File output data reside in memory
until they are saved in a Database File,
which is saved in the Working
Directory. The syntax for the name of the
Database File isjobname,db.

The Log File is an ASCII file, which is created (or resumed) immediately
Log File upon entering ANSYS. Every action taken by the user is stored
sequentially
in this file in command format (ANSYS Parametric Design Language
(APDL)). The syntax for the name of the Log File, which is also saved in
the Working Directory, isjobname.log. If jobname.log already exists in the
Working Directory, ANSYS appends the newly executed actions instead
of
overwriting the file. The Log File can be utilized to:
• Understand how an analysis was performed by another user.
• Learn the command equivalents of the actions taken within ANSYS.

ANSYS File Structure

Similar to the Log File, the Error File is an ASCII file, which is created (or
Error File
resumed) immediately upon entering ANSYS. This file captures all
warning
and error messages issued by ANSYS during a session. It is saved in
the
Working Directory with the following syntax for the name: jobname.err.

The results of an ANSYS analysis are stored in a separate Results

Results Files File. This file is a binary file and, depending upon the Analysis Type,
the file's extension takes a different form. The following syntax
applies to the Results
File name for the selected Analysis Type:
Structural analysis: jobname.rst
Thermal analysis: jobname.rth
Fluids analysis: jobname,rfl
