How to model a beam with variable cross section in Ansys


A beam with variable cross section can be easily modeled with FEM software using Solid or Shell elements. In this little tutorial, however, the beam was meshed using BEAM elements. These were chosen for future plans of combinating them with SHELL elements.

When BEAM elements are used, geometry variation is modeled with the Tapered Section option.

      Well, I really didn't change Salome for Ansys. I've been using Ansys for a long time... Salome was a more recent discovery. I would like to learn more from it, and my intention is to make it my FEM default application, some day. But, in the meantime, I am trying to finish my Thesis, and, for now, I feel more comfortable with Ansys. I will try to mix my little tests with both apllications.
