Member Shell FEA [Part 1]

In this example, we will demonstrate how to analyze a member made from a thin steel plate profile. The profile has the channel section with a plate thickness of 1.5 mm and a length of 1500 mm. Diaphragms, with a thickness of 20 mm, are attached to both ends of the member. Boundary conditions are applied at the member’s ends: the left side is rolled while the opposite end is pinned. The material properties for the parts are defined with a yield strength (fy) of 355 MPa. The member is subject to an axial compressive force of 1000 kN.
