Comparison to Analytic Results

The following table compares the results of both studies with analytical results.

Result Type Analytical Solution Full Assembly Results Remote Force Results
Average normal stress in the global Z-direction (psi) +60,000 (upper edge, tension)

-60,000 (lower edge, compression)

+59,895 (upper edge, tension)

-60,110 (lower edge, compression)

+60,403 (upper edge, tension)

-60,411 (lower edge, compression)

Average vertical displacement in the global Y-direction (in) -0.32827 (face) -0.32754 (face) -0.32754 (face)

The table shows that the results of both methods match the exact solution closely.
