Does it make sense to compare a solid model and a beam model, both simply-supported, single load?

06 June 2018 0 2K Report

I mean to ask, is it right to say that a solid element behaves exactly like a beam element, given the same cross section, simply supported boundary conditions etc?

I am talkingin terms of maximum deflection and bending stress.
