Chapter07 PDF

The document summarizes three structural engineering examples modeled with line elements in ANSYS: 1) A flexible gripper made of POM with fixed supports at the ends and actuation along its length. Beam elements are used to model convergence. 2) A 3D transmission tower truss with loads applied to joints. Points are created and connected with lines to form the truss. 3) A two-story steel building with reinforced concrete floors. Beams, columns, and floors are modeled with cross sections, and surfaces are formed from edges to represent floor slabs. Standard materials and loads are applied.
