Minimum element size 0.00m

Results

Handcalculation

    \[\Delta R=\frac{q \cdot R^2}{E \cdot e}=\frac{10kN/m^2 \cdot (1m)^2}{210 000N/mm^2 \cdot 0,02m}=0.002381mm\]

    \[\Delta y=\frac{q \cdot R \cdot \nu \cdot L}{E \cdot e}=\frac{10kN/m^2 \cdot 1m \cdot 0.03 \cdot 4m}{210 000N/mm^2 \cdot 0,02m} = 0.002857mm\]
