Geometry

The following videos use the legacy geometry engine, DesignModeler. Please see this page of the EdX course for updated instructions using the new geometry engine, SpaceClaim.

Check Your Understanding

Select the correct option below.

Consider the case where we replace our square cross-section in ANSYS with a different cross-section that has a lower cross-sectional area but the same moment of inertia. How is the total potential energy of the beam affected?

It:

  1. Decreases
  2. Stays the same 
  3. Increases
