Bar Problems / Truss Problem: Pre-Processor

This document describes the steps to model and analyze two structural problems - a truss problem and a beam problem - using finite element analysis software. For each problem, it outlines the pre-processing steps of modeling geometry, defining element types, material properties, and meshing. It then describes applying loads, solving the problem, and reviewing results by plotting displacements and stresses. The second problem analyzed is a plate with a circular hole subjected to displacement and force boundary conditions. Maximum and minimum values are reported for displacements, stresses, moments and shear forces.
