Frame08 – Partial Fixity End Releases✔

Example Description

The frame object partial fixity end releases are tested in this example.
In the example a cantilever beam is subjected to a uniform load equal to twice its self weight. At the fixed end of the cantilever the frame object is assigned a partial fixity moment (My) spring and a partial fixity shear (Vz) spring. The vertical tip deflection of the cantilever is compared with independent hand calculated results.
Important Note: Both bending and shear deformations are considered in the analysis for this example.
Important Note: The uniform load is applied using the gravity load feature of this model.

Tested Features
