Tutorial - Solving 2D Truss problem using Mechanical APDL (ANSYS)?

This is our problem which we are going to solve. In initial step we will identify the keypoints. The keypoints are

1. 0 0 0
2. 3000 3000 0
3. 6000 0 0
4. 0 3000 0
5. 6000 3000 0
6. 3000 6000 0
7. 0 6000 0
8. 6000 6000 0
9. 0 9000 0
10. 3000 9000 0
11. 6000 9000 0
12. 0 12000 0
13. 3000 12000 0
14. 6000 12000 0
15. 3000 15000 0

In general, a finite element solution may be broken into the following three stages.

1. Preprocessing: defining the problem;
- Define keypoints/lines/areas/volumes
- Define element type and material/geometric properties
- Mesh lines/areas/volumes as required

2. Solution: assigning loads, constraints and solving;

3. Postprocessing:
- Lists of nodal displacements
- Element forces and moments
- Deflection plots
- Stress contour diagrams

We will go through these and solve the problem. I will suggest you to go through this tutorial before solving this problem. http://grabcad.com/questions/tutorial-2d-truss-analysis-in-mechanical-apdl-ansys-part-1

long waited for ansys tutorial ...it's nice !!!

nice tutorial

Sir .how can I calculate wear on pin on disk model by using archard equation in ansys workbench

how to calculate SFD and BMD in ansys. IF your having any related topic notes please shear me any one problem on this topic.
