Buckling analysis of a simple plane truss

Buckling analysis of a simple plane truss

Buckling analysis of a simple plane truss

(OP)
Is anyone willing to show me some video tutorial, or even record it's own Ansys screen on buckling and lateral torsion check of a simple plain truss members:



The amount of the compressional force on the left is not important, it can be any value (1,2,3 kN).
The dimensions of the truss too - with member sizes of 0.5 or 1 or 2... meters in legth. Whatever. I attached the .dxf file of the truss if it would be easier to just import it into Ansys.

The only thing that would be nice to have are solid circular cross-sections.

Btw I guess a stress analysis needs to be completed before the buckling and lateral torsion check.


Thank you !!!
I owe you a beer!
