CHAPTER 20 ANSYS MACRO

This package reproduces Example 1: eigenvalue buckling of the 0.5 m cantilever beam modeled with plane-stress quadrilateral elements.

Units: millimetres (mm), newtons (N), and megapascals (MPa).

Run buck.mac in ANSYS Mechanical APDL. Compare the first critical buckling load with the MATLAB/ANSYS convergence table in Chapter 20.
