Simply Supported Solid Beam
In this example a simply supported beam is modelled with two dimensional solid elements. The example is implemented in both Tcl and Python:
Example6.tcl Example6.py Each node of the analysis has two displacement degrees of freedom. Thus the model is defined with ndm = 2 and ndf = 2.
A mesh is generated using the block2D command. The number of nodes in the local xx -direction of the block is nxnx and the number of nodes in the local yy -direction of the block is nyny ....
