ANSYS Problem #2
Stress Concentration at a Hole in a Plate

A plate having a hole is uniformly loaded at its ends. The objective of this example is to obtain stress distribution around the hole using ANSYS. You will learn a Boolean operation (Subtract) to draw the geometry and use the symmetry boundary conditions to simplify the problem. The von Mises stress Seqv () will be used for the stress contour plot.
