      How Ansys calculates deformation in beams made out of isotropic materials 

      I used transformation section rule for solving for deflection analytically but the value is different around 22mm for Ansys apdl result and 52mm for analytical results

      Hi Noureldeen

      Before getting into materials, which beam theory did you assume in your hand calculations?  Mechanical APDL uses Timoshenko beam theory for Beam188/189.

        Hello, my question was. Not clear 

        I used she'll 181 fo so how ansys calculates the deflection and stresses on my beam.. I have a 4 point force and 3 isotropic materials in 1 composite lay-up... Finally all  modeling is made in areas..

        How ansys calculates it analytically?

        And should I do any boundary conditions or initializing any equations?
