Question

A simple bracket shown in the following figure is built from a 30 mm thick steel plate. This plate is fixed at the two small holes on the left and

has a load applied to the larger hole on the right.Given that E =208GPA, and v = 0.33. (a) Create the geometry in ANSYS™ and mesh the model. Show screen captures of meshed model with applied BCs. (b) Calculate the peak displacement .at the right end of the model? Show screen captures of dof contour joints (c) What type of elements did you use? Why? What assumptions if any have you made in the model development? Justify assumptions. ) Has your solution converged? Justify? (e) Calculate the relative error in your model?
