Workshop ObjectivesCreate two models of a cantilevered beam. The models are for 1D (bar elements) or 2D (plate elements). Compare the results from the analysis for the models.

Problem DescriptionCompare the deformation and stress results for the two types of models.Piston material: Aluminum with E = 10 x 106 psi and ν = 0.3Force on tip of beams = 10 lbf

Key Concepts and Steps:Database: create a database with Analysis Code = MSC.Nastran and Analysis Type = StructuralGeometry: create a 5 x 1 x 1.5 parametric solidElements: create 2D Quad4 mesh on the four long sided faces of the solidLoads/BCs: apply concentrated force at free end of cantilevered beam. Constrain cantilevered end of beam.Materials: create material properties for beam; use aluminum properties.Properties: create properties for Quad4 elements. They include both bending and membrane properties.Analysis: Solution Type = Nastran Linear Static, Solution Sequence = 101, Method = Full RunAnalysis: access analysis results by attaching the XDB file to databaseResults: view both the deformation and stress results

Key Concepts and Steps: (continued)Database: create a database with Analysis Code = MSC.Nastran and Analysis Type = StructuralGeometry: create a <5 0 0> curveElements: mesh the curve with 1D Bar2 elements. Create a rigid link (MPC) for force application at the free end of the cantilevered beam.Loads/BCs: apply a concentrated force at the free end of the MPCMaterials: create material properties for beam; use aluminum properties.Properties: create properties for Bar2 elements. Use the Beam Library and select the rectangular cross-section option.Analysis: Solution Type = Nastran Linear Static, Solution Sequence = 101, Method = Full RunAnalysis: access analysis results by attaching the XDB file to databaseResults: view both the deformation and stress results Results: compare the 2D and 1D model results
