WBVMMECH001 Statically Indeterminate Reaction Force Analysis Overview Reference: S. Timoshenko, Strength of Materials, Part 1, Elementary Theory and Problems, 3rd Edition, CBS Publishers and Distributors, pg. 22 and 26 Analysis Type(s): Linear Static Structural Analysis Element Type(s): Solid Test Case An assembly of three prismatic bars is supported at both end faces and is axially loaded with forces F1 and F2. Force F1 is applied on the face between Parts 2 and 3 and F2 is applied on the face between Parts 1 and 2. Apply advanced mesh control with element size of 0.5'. Find reaction forces in the Y direction at the fixed supports.

DESCRIPTION The primary purpose of this manual is to demonstrate a wide range of Mechanical APDL elements and capabilities in straightforward problems which have 'classical' or readily-obtainable theoretical solutions. Furthermore, the close agreement of the Mechanical APDL solutions to the theoretical results in this manual is intended to provide user confidence in the Mechanical APDL solutions. An attempt has been made to include most element types and major solution capabilities of Mechanical APDL in this set of test cases. These problems may then serve as the basis for additional validation and qualification of Mechanical APDL capabilities by the user for specific applications that may be of interest.
