Practical Application of Static Finite Element Analysis

Figure 1: The cantilever beam to be simulated (Simulia Abaqus 6.14, 2014).
A practical application of Finite Element Analysis using the Abaqus commercial finite element software is presented in this topic overview. More specifically, the procedure followed in Abaqus to model a static structural problem and analyse it by introducing loads and boundary conditions is provided in detail.

To make the most of this week, please try to reproduce the steps of the worked example using the Abaqus software on your own computer. This will help you familiarise with the software and its various features, and thus better prepare for your Summative Assessment due in Week 8.
Formative Task: Practical Application of Static Finite
Element Analysis
For this week, please submit an individual written task where you critically discuss the practical application of Static Finite Element Analysis in Abaqus. In addition, explain the procedure you followed to perform the Static analysis in Abaqus and present and discuss the obtained results.
Further information that will assist you in the development of this week's tasks is located in this week topic overview.
Although this a reflective practice, it is highly advisable to ground your analysis in relevant literature. You may also use examples to justify your assertions.
