Cantilever Beam Modal Analysis in ANSYS Workbench: Comparing 3D and 1D Element Frequencies

#ansys #cantileverbeam #workbench #modalanalysis #modal

In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of performing modal analysis on a cantilever beam using ANSYS Workbench. We'll start by setting up the geometry and material properties, followed by meshing with both 3D and 1D elements. You'll learn how to define boundary conditions and apply modal analysis settings. Through step-by-step instructions, we'll walk you through the process of evaluating natural frequencies using both 3D and 1D elements. Finally, we'll compare the results obtained from both approaches, providing insights into the differences and considerations for choosing between them in your own simulations. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this tutorial will enhance your understanding of modal analysis techniques in ANSYS Workbench and help you make informed decisions in your engineering designs.
