    The document provides information about a structural analysis problem to be solved using MATLAB and ANSYS. The structure consists of 3 sections discretized into 6 elements with varying lengths and material properties. Students are asked to use MATLAB to calculate element and global stiffness matrices, force vectors, node and element displacements, and element stresses. They are also asked to model the problem in ANSYS Workbench using symmetry and 6 elements, and show displacements and stresses in the results.
