Deflection of cantilevers in structural design software versus standard formulae
Posted on in General
An area of design that frequently leads to confusion is the calculated value of deflection for cantilevers that results from structural design software. Frequently, the deflection used is higher than obtained by doing a manual check on the deflection by utilizing standard deflection formulae taken from reference texts.

How do the structural model's simplifications affect your analysis results?
Posted on in General
The process of producing a model requires that the structure is idealised into a suitable form for modelling. This often requires at least some degree of simplification. Such a process of simplification applies not just to the model geometry itself, but also to the loading and restraint conditions. In some circumstances, such simplification can be done in a variety of ways with no significant impact on the overall analysis, but there are cases where how the loads or restraints are modelled can have a significant effect on the results.
