 Conclusion
Finally when we compare the results of by using three methods

 MANUAL

 MAT LAB

 ANSYS APDL

The Mat Lab and the manual solutions are the same solutions in the results of the

deflection, reaction force, stress and also the mat lab method is the most long process of

doing the process and also the manual method is take some times ,in generally the results

of needed data’s are for the needed question is more similar to each other and for the Mat

Lab and the manual case we can say all the results are similar in approximation .and the

ansys apdl solution we obtained from the software are the solutions are in some of the

results are more close to the mat lab and the manual solutions, in addition to that some of

the results are not even similar in sign in ansys apdl but in general we can say the mat lab

and the manual solutions are more like similar in approximation and the ansys apdl

results compeered to that of the ansys apdl solutions.
