EXERCISE – 5

Q. Analyse the frame element using Abaqus and tabulate the results. Assume the suitable
load data and dimension.

Cross section – 300X300

Material properties:
Material : Concrete
Modulus of Elasticity : 25000 mpa
Poisson’s Ratio : 0.2
Loading:
Uniformly Distributed load : 3 N/mm
Lateral Loads : 20,40 kN/m
Boundary Conditions : Fixed at bottom

Step 1: Creating Part

 Create the geometry of the beam using Deformable 2D Solid features.

 In the Module list, go to the Part Module.
 Select Part and then Create.
 We have given the approximate size, then press continue.

Step 2: Material Property

 Create the material property

 Go to Property.
 Select Material and then create new material.
 Name the material and give elasticity details under mechanical properties.

 Create the section using beam and truss type. Assign the property to the geometry.
 In the menu bar, select Section and Create.

2
  In the dialogue box, give the name, category (solid) & type (homogeneous),
then hit Continue.
 In the Edit Section dialogue box, give proper input and click OK.
 From main menu bar, select Assign › Section.
 Select the beam and click Done.
 Accept the section and click OK

Step 3: Assembly

 Transfer the geometry part into the assembly and make the parts as independent for
assigning mesh and defining any datum points or datum planes and for making any
partitions if needed.
 Create the node set for assigning concentrated loads.

Step 4: Creating Step

 Create the step for assigning loads. As the load is a static loads in this analysis, General
Static Step is chosen in this analysis.

Step 5: Loading

 Create the loading as required.

 In this analysis, UDL load of 3kN and concentrated load of 20kN,40kN

Step 6: Boundary Conditions

Apply the boundary conditions as pinned type for the created step on both ends of the
truss.

Step 7: meshing
In this analysis, the mesh number was adopted. Using the seed instance tool, apply the seeds
for the instance. After seeding the instance, using meshing tool, apply the mesh to the seeded
instance.

Step 8: Job Creation
 Create the job for analysing.
 Submit the job for analysis.

Step 9: Results
 Displacement:

Blue line shows the deflection

Maximum Deflection = 1.6 mm

 Bending Moment:

Blue line shows the bending moment diagram

Maximum Bending moment= 35.2 kNm

 Shear Force:

Blue line shows the Shear force diagram

Maximum Shear force= 16.6 kN

Result:
S.No Analysis Result
1 Maximum Deflection 1.6 mm
2 Maximum Bending moment 35.2 kNm
3 Maximum Shear force 16.6 kN
