Example Problems: Application Examples American

This document describes the calculation of principal stresses on a finite element in a space frame structure. It provides the input data for the structure geometry, material properties, boundary conditions, and loading. The analysis is performed and the output includes support reactions, element stresses including principal stresses and maximum stresses for element 4.
