Project Overview
This tutorial focuses on the calculation of reaction force at point B using the Abaqus software and the Analytical Solution.
The reaction force is first calculated using the Analytical Solution. The same problem is then modeled in Abaqus, and the reaction force at point B is obtained from the Abaqus results. Finally, the results obtained from both methods are compared.
Problem Description
In this problem, the structure consists of two connected beams. The length of beam AC is 25 inches, while the length of beam BCD is 40 inches.
A linear load of 50 lb/in is applied to beam AC. The main objective is to determine the reaction force at point B and verify the Abaqus result against the Analytical Solution.
Analytical Solution
First, the reaction force at point B is calculated using the Analytical Solution.
The reaction force obtained from the Analytical Solution is equal to 186.6 lb.
Abaqus Simulation
The same structure is then modeled in the Abaqus software. The linear load of 50 lb/in is applied to beam AC, and the reaction force at point B is obtained from the Abaqus software.
The reaction force at point B obtained from the Abaqus software is 186.67 lb.
Comparison of Results
Finally, the reaction force obtained from the Abaqus software is compared with the result obtained from the Analytical Solution.
As observed, the results obtained from the Abaqus software are very close to those obtained from the Analytical Solution. The Analytical Solution gives a reaction force of 186.6 lb, while the Abaqus result is 186.67 lb.
