This is my clumsy attempt to be a Youtuber – I will be rich and famous soon!

Using symmetry to analyse a 2D hook in ANSYS

Or: how an 8 mm thick hook loaded with 30 kN is equivalent to a 4 mm thick hook loaded with 15 kN.

Using symmetry to model only half a hook

A simple model of a short beam test in ANSYS (Part 1)

Or: one way to create a model of a short-beam test in Inventor.

Constructing an assembly in Inventor for a short beam test

A simple model of a short beam test in ANSYS (Part 2)

Or: how to set up and analyse a composite beam in ANSYS (without using ACP).

Analysis of the short beam test in ANSYS

A simple model of a short beam test in ANSYS (Part 3)

Or: how to get the (no separation) contact right, or not; and how to examine the results in Matlab.
