Copyrighted No planes of symmetry exist and therefore simplifications cannot be made. Finally, the significance of the von Mises stress in design equation is discussed. 1 Problem Statement Material The bent rod, shown to the right, is clamped at one end and loaded endloaded end subjected to a load of 2000 lb as displayed. The steel rod has a Young modulus of 30E+6 psi and Poisson ratio 0.3 . The nominal dimensions of the rod are also displayed below. Although this problem is more efficiently handled with beam elements, we propose to use solid elements. There are two types of solid elements available in CATIA V5: linear and parabolic. Both are referred to as tetrahedron Clamped endClamped end Copyrighted elements and shown below. 5 in Tetrahedron ElementsTetrahedron Elements
