EX03. 2D Static Analysis of Rectangular Plate With Hole

The document provides step-by-step instructions for using ANSYS to analyze a rectangular steel plate with a hole that is subjected to a tensile load, including how to define the geometry, apply material properties, mesh the model, apply boundary conditions and loads, solve for von-Mises stresses and deflection, and post-process the results.

2D Static Analysis of Rectangular Plate with Hole

Problem: The rectangular plate made of steel as shown figure below is subjected to a tensile load of 800
6 2
lb. The material properties are E = 29x10 Ib/in , = 0.3. Thickness of the plate is 0.3. Analyze for the
von-mises stresses and maximum deflection of the plate using ANSYS.
