Exercise 3: Beam (3D)
ANSYS Training

1. Main menu/Prep/ Material props/ Material Library/ Select Units

2. Main menu/Prep/ Element type/Add, edit, Delete/Add/solid- quad 4 node
182
* go to option and select plan stress w/th
3. Main menu/Prep/Real Constant/Add, edit, delete/Add>THK=?
4. Main menu/Prep/Material Properties/Material Models/Structural/
