Finite Element Analysis of Steel Structure Elements with Ansys Workbench

Abstract

There are many analytical solution methods used in the analysis of structural systems. With the developed analytical solution methods, it is possible to make faster and real solutions. The ANYSS Workbench program is one of the most important programs based on the finite element method and recently used in the analysis of structural systems. With this program, internal forces, stress-displacements and moment-rotation relationship in elements and joints results can be obtained. In this study, analytical solution of steel tension and compression elements has been realized by using ANYSS Workbench program. The stresses and displacements in steel elements subjected to axial tension and compression were obtained both theoretically and using the ANYSS Workbench program. Obtained the results were compared and interpreted.
