Question 1

Model the structure below in ABAQUS using linear and cubic beam elements.

q = [D] N/m

Material

Aluminium

E = 69 GPa

v = 0.27

You must ensure your model has converged.

A = 238 mm

B = 13 mm

C = 20 mm

D = -44 N/m

[A] mm

Provide the maximum vertical displacement of the structure for your converged solution (to 6 d.p.).

Add your answer

[B] mm
