I'm using Ansys, and yes I am quite new to it. I was actually able to figure it with the help of my colleagues; the large deflection caused the stress components to look misleading since they were calculated using the global coordinate system. Since the beam bends to an angle of about 30...
Hello, I have modeled a beam in bending but the shear stress distribution seems incorrect. Instead of being parabolic and at a maximum in mid-thickness, it has a neutral axis in the middle and extreme values at the surfaces. How could this be possible?
I'm using quadratic solid elements. Thank...
