Problem 5 - Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram of Beam

The document describes the steps to model a simply supported beam with applied loads in ANSYS and calculate the shear force and bending moment diagrams, as well as the maximum deflection. It provides details on creating the geometry, applying the material properties, loads, and boundary conditions. It also outlines the steps to obtain and post-process the results for shear and bending diagrams, stresses, deflections, and reactions.

the maximum deflection. Assume rectangular c/s area of 100 mm * 100 mm, Young’s

modulus of 210 GPa, Poisson’s ratio 0.27.
