Thank you sir very nice class

Nice video, but I need help that I want to add udl but it does not act normal to the beam with this orientation ?

[@parafraz1946]

Hi! Can you tell me what's the point of using 10 elements in this particular example? My understanding is that this beam can be a finite element itself without any harm to the precision. Is it for educational purpose?

[@stalinibanez210]

Thanks for the video, it is very well explained. I am modelling the beam using the APDL, but considering 7 DoF per node. So far I have been able to obtain the results of the warping bimoment distribution by just doing similar things to this tutorial.
However, I have one doubt, would it be possible to apply the load in the node using an eccentricity? or for having load with eccentricity should I define a rigid element that simulate that?

[@FEAnalysis]

Thanks for viewing and your post. You can try a rigid element to apply an eccentric load. Or there is also a "remote force" type load which allows you to apply a load at a specified distance from the selected point. Important point is to validate the results you get by hand calculations and making sure that the simulated structure response is as would be expected in the real world.

can the .inp or logfile you show at 21:18 be auto generated?

[@RahulKumar-gz5gn]

sir can you also help me by posting a video of non linear buckling analysis with shell elements

[@FEAnalysis]

Unfortunately I could not generate on demand tutorials but I will keep this topic in mind for my next batch of videos. Thank you for your interest in my video tutorials.

[@none2454]

Is this a structural component or thermal component?

[@FEAnalysis]

This is a structural analysis.

[@Bahi193]

Can you please show how to create t section beam in ansys apdl

[@FEAnalysis]

Thanks for viewing this video and posting. The T cross section can be created in Mechanical APDL using the Beam Tool and selecting the T option with the W1, W2, t1 and t2 parameters. There is a similar cross section option in Workbench Mechanical.

I would need to solve this exercise, would anyone have to help me?

[@Bahi193]

sir how can i generate crack in this I-section please guide me

[@FEAnalysis]

The beam element type could not be used for a fracture mechanics analysis. You can create a solid element representation of the beam and insert a crack instead.
