Sažetak
Beam structures are common in engineering practice, and with the growing complexity of the structures, beam finite elements sometimes are not sufficient to achieve accurate results. This paper aims to show the possibilities of using different finite element types and to see what kind of possible impact those elements will have on similar structures. This paper analyses the stress and the displacement of a structure supporting the piping system of the boiler water supply inside a thermal power plant. While sustaining piping loads, the designed structure intends to carry piping hangers and supports. Numerical analysis of the finite element method is performed using the software Ansys Workbench. Meshing methods with different finite elements are tested, and the solutions are obtained. The tested finite elements are beam, solid, shell, and solid-shell finite elements, respectively. One of the results is the displacement convergence diagram for each type of used finite element, with the appropriate time needed for obtaining solutions for that element. With reduced time, more accurate solutions for overall analysis are achieved.
