Abstract

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is widely used in engineering field, especially in aircraft and structure engineering. Generally, it is a numerical method for solving engineering problems with complicated geometries, loadings and material properties. There are software that could be used to model and analyse FEA problems, such as Abaqus. ANSYS software is usually used to perform analysis on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD. The objective of this project is to study and investigate the capability of ANSYS in modelling and analysing structural problems by using different elements which are one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) elements. The validation and verification of the result will be done by comparison of analysis from ANSYS with experimental data, theoretical calculation and comparing the analysis result from other software. From the analysis, the distinction of the result from ANSYS with analysis of other software, theoretical calculation and experimental data was not too high with the percentage of error of 1 percent to 10 percent. So, ANSYS can be an effective platform to carry out structural modelling and analysing in Finite Element Analysis.
