Case Study of Element Types on Cold Formed Steel Angle Sections Under Tensile Using Ansys

The effective sectional area concept was adopted to conduct the analysis of cold-formed tension members. Ansys software was utilized to simulate the behavior of cold formed steel angle under tension load. Structural steel members are extensively used in structures such as bridges, roof trusses, transmission line towers, multistoried buildings etc. It gives high strength to weight ratio, resulting in the reduction of dead weight. The paper describes the case study of element types on cold formed steel angle sections under tensile using ansys. ANSYS Workbench capabilities include a unique and extensive materials and sections for concrete and steel structures. A user- friendly beam and shell postprocessor included listing and plotting section geometry, reinforcements, beam stresses and strains inside the cross section.
