Introduction

MATLABSolutions demonstrate how to use the Anysy software for Analysis of the cantilever beam using Ansys. Ansys Fluent is a fluid simulation software that is noted for its advanced physics modeling capabilities and accuracy. A step-by-step demonstration of conjugate heat transfer (CHT) on a heat sink is included in this free trial. Design in three dimensions. Simulation of acoustics.

Methodology

A static structural analysis assesses the effect of stable (or static) loading conditions on a structure while ignoring inertia and damping effects induced by time variable loads. Static analyses can incorporate constant inertia loads (such gravity and rotational velocity and accelerations) as well as time-varying loads that can be approximated as static equivalent loads. A stiff structural element that is supported at one end and free at the other is known as a cantilever beam. A cantilever beam constructed of concrete or steel with one end cast or fastened to a vertical support can be used. It's a horizontal beam with a free end that's subjected to vertical loads.We first create the geometry of square cross-section of 10mm x 10mm and height of 500mm which is made up of structural steel, one end is fixed and the other end is loaded with the point load of 10N.
