Linear Truss

A finite element model of a simple truss is created, and static analysis is performed.

Orienting frames in 3D

Frame

Orienting frames in 3D

This example demonstrates how to orient beam elements in 3D.

Plane bending

Plane • Static • Loads

Plane bending

A plane cantilever is subjected to a transverse load at the tip.

Frame • Shell • Dynamic

Linear Dynamic analysis of ground shaking

A finite element model of a single-story structure composed of frame columns and a shell roof is constructed and subjected to dynamic earthquake excitation.

Solid extrusions

Solid

Solid extrusions

Mesh generation utilities are used to create a 3D tetrahedron model of a cantilever beam with a channel cross section.

Frame • Offset

Rigid Offsets

This example tests the effect of rigid joint offsets in a diamond-shaped frame. The analytical solution is known, and the test is used to verify the correct treatment of offset geometry in a 3D frame element.

Shell undergoing finite rotations

Shell

Shell undergoing finite rotations

Geometrically nonlinear analysis of a cantilever rolling up under the action of a point moment, performed with shell finite elements.
