Ansys Mechanical – Cantilever (Intermediate Load)

Ansys Mechanical is the structural analysis environment inside Workbench. It lets you study how a component reacts to the loads acting on it: stresses and deformations, thermal effects, vibration and modal response, and coupled problems such as thermo-electric or magnetostatic analysis.

A study always follows the same sequence: build or import the geometry, mesh it, assign the material, apply the supports and the loads, solve, and finally read the results.

The interface is organised as a tree. Each branch holds one stage of the setup (geometry, connections, mesh, boundary conditions, solution) and selecting a branch opens its properties in the panel below, where you enter the values for that stage.

In this tutorial, you will learn to simulate a simple example about Intermediate Load in a Cantilever using Ansys Mechanical. You can download the Excel file from this link.
