Dear Abaqus Users.
Can anyone pleasehelp me regarding the solution of a simple beam experiment.
I am trying to findthe tip displacement of a cantilever beam and compare the outputs with"Analytic solution" to confirm FE results.
The assumptions thatI am following are:
Length=200mm
Width=20mm
Depth/Thickness=25mm
Force/Load = 100N(concentrated force)
E=209.E3
Poisson's ratio=0.3
Number of elementsused for meshing = 29
Types of elements Iam using for Cantilever beam are:
C3D4
C3D10
C3D8
C3D20
CPS3
CPS6
CPS4
CPS8
But, the values I amgetting after settting up the experiments for all of the above in Abaqus giveme results equal to 0.012 almost, which is not very close to the analyticsolution (that gives me the value of 0.049 after computing in tip displacementequation).
Apologies for beingsooo elaborative explaining a simple problem but can anyone please advise,where I am going wrong? Is it the model assumption or the analytic solutionwhich went wrong?
Many thanks for thesupport in advance.
