Reply To: analytical deflection of fixed beam not matching ansys results

[sriparna.2021rce15]

Thank you for your response.

 

As you stated "If the beam is not long enough for the section, the shear deformation, which is not concidered in your calculation, is not negligible." I would like to know at what length would be enough so that shear deformations can be neglected i.e., what should be the l/d ratio.

 

Also, if I have used SOLID186 element and shear deformations are not taken into account by solid elements. Then the analaytical results should match in case of solid elements
