How to model Dual Cantilevered Beam using SolidWorks and Cosmos, Find the maximum deflection of the beam using the analytical expression. Compare your analytical findings with findings determine through FEA analysis using COSMOS. Analytical expression for maximum deflection is given below. The beam is simple and very easy to sketch. Basically, we will just draw an end view of the beam in the sketching window (see Figure 1), and then we will extrude the beam to its full length (see Figure 2). 1. Draw the face of the beam • Left click on the Sketch Button (see Figure 1) located on the toolbar • Left click on the Rectangle tool (see Figure 1) • Left click on any point on the screen and continue to hold down the button • Drag the cursor to draw a rectangle ( The size does not matter right now). SET UP THE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS USING COSMOS: Since we want this beam to act as a statically indeterminate dual cantilevered beam, we must constrain each end to be held in place. Refer to Figure 5.
