Beam model with a not typical beam cross section
Introduction:
In this exercise the modeling with a beam element will be introduced. The method of
modeling, meshing and a model analyzing will be shown. I am going to present, how to
build a beam model with beam cross section which is not define be in the Femap
software. In the exercise a frame model will be prepared. The theoretical model is
presented below:
1. Model details
Dimensions:
A = 0.1 [m]
B = 0.03 [m]
C = 0.01 [m]
D = 1 [m]
E = 1,5 [m]
F = 0,2 [m]
Materials data:
For the model steel St36 is used.
E= 2.06e11 [N/m2]
υ= 0.3
ρ= 7.85e3 [kg/m3]
2. Geometry
To create geometry please follow the steps, most of the steps are the same as in the
previous exercise so will be only decribed without a pictures:
In first step I am going to show how to prepare triangle shape:
- Creating a point:
Geometry => Point (fill in the points co ordinations in the window)
First point: 0,0,0 => OK
Second point: 0.1,0,0 => OK
Third point: 0.05,0.1,0 => OK
In the result , we receive 3 points which should be connected by the lines . The lines

create a border of the surface. To create surface please follow the steps below.
Geometry => Surface=> Edge curves => (in window check 3-sides) => choose 3 edges
=> OK
Now do the same steps with the second profile.
-Creating a construction:
I am going to prepare a first quadratic section and copy it 3 times:
Create a points:
Geometry => curve-line => points
P1: 0,0,0
P2: 0.2,0,0
P3: 1.2;0,0
P4: 1.2,1,0
P5: 0.2,1,0
Now create lines between the points:
-Coping the edges:
Geometry => Copy => Curve... => select lines from quadratic section => in repetition
window insert 4 and OK=> OK

Beam model tutorial
Short theory:
Beam element is a very versatile line-element; in general, it has six degrees of freedom at
12/06/2013 Femap Tutorials
femaptutorials.blogspot.co.uk 11/16
each node, which include, translations and rotations along the x, y, and z directions,
respectively. Figure 4.1 shows the positive directions of these displacements.
Beam element is employed to simulate a slender structure that has an uniform cross
section. The element is unsuitable for structures that have complex geometry, holes, and
points of stress concentration.
The stiffness constant of a beam element is derived by combining the stiffness constants
of a beam under pure bending, a truss element, and a torsion bar. Thus, a beam element
can represent a beam in bending, a truss element, and a torsion bar. In FEA it’s a
common practice to use beam elements to represent all or any of these three load types.
We will derive the element stiffness equation for a beam element by first deriving the
stiffness equation of a beam in bending, and then superimposing the stiffness of a truss
and a torsion bar element.
Exercise:
Introduction:
In this exercise the modeling with a beam element will be introduced. The method of
modeling, meshing and a model analyzing will be shown. I am going to present, how to a
whole geometry and model analyzing in the Femap software environment prepare. For the
beginning exercise simple beam model will be used. The beam supported on the two ends
will be prepared. All details are shown on the picture below:
1. Model details
Dimensions:
a= 150 [mm]
b= 100 [mm]
c= 5[mm]
h= 10 [mm]
Materials data:
For the model steel St36 is used.
E= 2.05e-5 [N/mm2]
υ= 0.3
ρ= 7.85e-6 [kg/mm3]
Load:
Force = 1000 N
2. Geometry
To create geometry please follow the steps:
Creating a point:
Geometry => Point (fill in the points co ordinations in the window)
First point: 0,0,0 => OK
12/06/2013 Femap Tutorials

Second point: 150,0,0 => OK
Third point: 250,0,0 => OK
In the result , we receive 3 points (yellow crosses).
Creating a line:
Geometry => curve-line => points (points can be chosen by clicking on them or by filling
the empty places in the window).
First line: first click on the left point and next on the middle point.
Second line: first click on the middle point and next on the right point.
In the result you have two lines like on the picture below:
3. Properties
To create properties please follow the steps:

Now the beam property is created.
4. Loads and boundary conditions
Creating loads:
Model=> Load => Create/ Manage Set => follow the numbers
Model=> Load => on point(s) => follow the numbers

Creating constraints:
Model=> constraints => Create/ Manage Set => follow the numbers
Please chose the point on the left side of the beam.
This point is fixed.
For the other point the constraint will be prepared in the same way
The second end of the beam is blocked in two directions so the TX and TY displacement
must be blocked.

5. Meshing
To mesh geometry follow the steps below.
Mesh=>Mesh control=>default size=> fill 10 in size gap
Mesh=>Mesh control => Attributes along curve => select all =>
Mesh => Geometry => Curve => select all => OK
Now we have completely meshed geometry with constraints and loads.
