EXERCISE 5
Analysis of a stepped cylindrical bar using ANSYS Workbench
Question: Analyse the stresses, strain, deformation of a bar given below

I. Learning objectives:
1. To understand the geometry and develop the relevant FEM model.
2. To understand the external loads and supports from the question and convert them into
loads & boundary conditions in FEM.
3. To Perform structural analysis and derive results using ANSYS Workbench.
II. Software & Hardware:
Software used: ANSYS Workbench, Release 19.0 UP20171214
Hardware used:
Device Used: LAPTOP-OC2HTQUJ
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable)

III. Procedure:
Workbench is opened and static structural is selected.
In static structural, the material of the bar is selected by using Engineering data.
Then, in the geometry, new designmodeler is selected for designing the stepped
cylindrical bar as per the dimensions provided in the question.
 After that, model is selected to mesh the whole model and provide the boundary
conditions and loads as per the question.
 Then, the deformation, stress, strain were selected from the solution section.
