CES - Stress Analysis Spring 999 Ex. #, the following -D truss is to be analyzed using Sstan (read the online stan intro first, and Ch- in Hoit) k k 0 ft E= 9000 ksi A= 0 in*in 0 ft Sstan builds the global equation R = KG*r starting at the element level just like you did by hand Let s pull out element and look at all the information Sstan needs to find its contribution to KG Coordinates of nodes let s call node the origin x=0 y=0 z=0 x=0* y=0* Boundaries DOF = R,R,F,F,F,F DOF = F,F,F,F,F,F R - released F - fixed for a -D truss, only (x,y) exist, so all other DOF are fixed i j i - near end node j - far end node for this element TRUSS, M= M= will describe the material properties A=0, E=9000 Loads there are no loads on either node of this member This information: where are the nodes what are their boundary conditions how are they attached by the member what are the material properties what are the loads Is needed for every element. Some of it will be repetitive (we only need to define the coordinates of a node once, no matter how many elements are touching it). Now let s look at the complete input file for the whole structure. of /9/99 Ex. #,

Here we gave material properties in inches^ and ksi, node locations in inches, loads in kips, so final units are: displacement - inches. Internal forces and reactions - kips If E is in ksi, and loads are in kips, the 000 factor is built in. We converted the nodal locations to inches in the input file by using feet*. of /9/99 Ex. #,
