FEA Structural Example

[JGard1985]

Hi Guys

I'm looking for some suggestions on some challenging structural problems you've faced that would've benefited from a Finite Element Analysis.

I'm looking to demonstrate some FEA results against code predicted equations and incorporate into my firm's blog...something that can be shared without any concern for clients/customers Any suggestion is fair game...I'm leaning toward something out of AISC seismic design manual or other energy method

In the past we've covered:
[ul]
[li]Blast loading on buildings using LS-DYNA finite element analysis[/li]
[li]Bolted preload connections and prying resulting from thin flanges[/li]
[li] Using symmetry to reduce FEA run-time
[li] Validation and convergence of FEA models
[/ul]

Any suggestion is fair game and would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Jeff

Continuous brick relief angles supported by askew headed bolts in a hohmann and barnard hw-340 or equivalent insert into a slab edge, 8" slab thickness, with a single or two stories of brick veneer, 10ft and/or 20ft. Two conditions angle flush to slab and angle outset with shim plates, up to 1", at the insert locations only. Angle orientation in either vertical leg up or down.
