Microstruct is Validated against the popular engineering programs STAAD Pro and SAP2000 (for plate only)
This is 20"x20"X0.1"(thick) steel plate with fixed supported boundary conditions. It has different level of meshing to test the convergence using Microstruct, STAAD Pro and SAP2000. The plate is subjected to 0.25psi uniformly distribued pressure on the whole area. The result is listed below
This is 20"x20"X0.1"(thick) steel plate with fixed supported boundary conditions. It has different level of meshing to test the convergence using Microstruct, STAAD Pro and SAP2000. The plate is subjected to 0.1kip concentrated force at the center of the plate. The result is listed below
