Challenge 2- Comparing the performance of three types of beams under bending load.

Objective:

Conduct a bending stress simulation using simple FEA in Soliworks.

Conduct them for the above given three different cross sectional beams.

Procedure:

CAD model:

Rectangular section

I-Section

C-Section

Boundary Conditions:

One edge of the beam is fixed and lateral force of 1500N is applied as a uniformly distributed load.

Mesh:

Results:

The corresponding stress, dispalcement and strain values are displayed.

Rectangular section:

I-Section:

C-Section:
