z Workshop Objectives
z Create two models of a cantilevered beam. The models are for1D (bar elements) or 2D (plate elements). Compare the resultsfrom the analysis for the models.
z Problem Descriptionz Compare the deformation and stress results for the two types of
models.
z Piston material: Aluminum with E = 10 x 106 psi and = 0.3
z Force on tip of beams = 10 lbf

z Key Concepts and Steps:
z Database: create a database with Analysis Code = MSC.Nastran and
Analysis Type = Structural
z Geometry: create a 5 x 1 x 1.5 parametric solid
z Elements: create 2D Quad4 mesh on the four long sided faces of the solid
z Loads/BCs: apply concentrated force at free end of cantilevered beam.
Constrain cantilevered end of beam.
z Materials: create material properties for beam; use aluminum properties.
z Properties: create properties for Quad4 elements. They include both
bending and membrane properties.
z Analysis: Solution Type = Nastran Linear Static, Solution Sequence =
101, Method = Full Run
z Analysis: access analysis results by attaching the XDB file to database
z Results: view both the deformation and stress results

z Key Concepts and Steps: (continued)
z Database: create a database with Analysis Code = MSC.Nastran and
Analysis Type = Structural
z Geometry: create a curve
z Elements: mesh the curve with 1D Bar2 elements. Create a rigid link(MPC) for force application at the free end of the cantilevered beam.
z Loads/BCs: apply a concentrated force at the free end of the MPC
z Materials: create material properties for beam; use aluminum properties.
z Properties: create properties for Bar2 elements. Use the Beam Library
and select the rectangular cross-section option.
z Analysis: Solution Type = Nastran Linear Static, Solution Sequence =
101, Method = Full Run
z Analysis: access analysis results by attaching the XDB file to database
z Results: view both the deformation and stress results
z Results: compare the 2D and 1D model results
