    Gusset plate calculation/approximation

    I think I have the problem solved. I set up a few simpler models of the same size and was able to show that the gussets are not effective to begin with so they are negated from the larger model.

    Gusset plate calculation/approximation

    I am trying to avoid modeling gusset plates in a beam/frame model and am stumped as to how to work up a hand calculation to prove the plates are not overstressed or buckling. The frame is 80"x160"x80" deep with 15" triangular plates. The customer does not want anything other than beam...

    Compression only member

    I am looking for a method to utilize a compression only member of sorts. I am applying load cases in multiple directions and modeling a tank restraint that only acts against the tank in the opposite direction of travel. Any thoughts?

    ANSYS beam to shell delfection

    I have beam elements intersecting a shell structure (xy plane) parallel to the z axis that are giving some rather large deflections, such as 3-4 times the length of the beam element. the beams use the same nodes from the shell, and are for whatever reason shooting out to extreme deflections. i...

    GT Strudl

    My company has recently aquired this package and we are analyzing a structure that appears to have a singularity. The intersection of interest is a rectangular shape with w4x13's on the perimeter with several cross beams. a cross beam intersects the perimeter at 90 degrees at a location along...

    Short beam/shear deflection

    shell type structure, .750" thick, acts as cantilever beam, modeled with fixed support and load applied to a plate on top. the load is applied to the face as components. for deflection verification, the loads are applied only in one direction. the working calc is compressive deflection, and...

    Short beam/shear deflection

    Im trying to verify a model that is a short beam, and i cant seem to get it correct. 19x28-->8.5x19 taper over 43". i can verify the rest, but the deflections are goofy. any direction?
