VAASEL-ANSYS Comparison for a Thermally Loaded Beam

Abstract

This report presents the results of calculating the deflection and stresses in a thermally loaded beam. Three different methods were used for the calculation: classical beam theory, ANSYS (Version 4.4) and VAASEL (Version 1.1). Comparisons between each of the methods are presented.
