Hello people. I am new to FEA, and using Ansys to solve a few textbook problems to validate the solution. Please bear with me as the doubts might sound trivial. So, I am trying to simulate the stress in a circular cantilever beam of diameter 100mm, where an axial tensile force of 4000N is applied. By calculation, the normal stress along the axis should come to be around 0.51N/mm^2. However, ANSYS gives the normal stress and the von-mises stress as 0.75 and 0.63 N/mm^2 respectively. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? Thanks in advance.
