Opposite * the pins there is a shearing load along the edge of the plate * directed downwards (-y). The second load is a shearing load along * the bottom of the plate directed left to right (+x). The third * load runs along the top of the plate and pushes downward (-y). */ nodes 1 x=0 y=0 z=0 constraint=pin 2 x=0 y=10 constraint=pin 3 x=20 y=10 constraint=free 4 x=20 y=0 constraint=free CSTPlaneStress elements 1 nodes=[1,3,2] material=steel load=push 2 nodes=[1,4,3] material=steel load=shear_tb load=shear_lr material properties steel t=1 e=30e6 nu=0.30 distributed loads shear_tb direction=GlobalY values=(2,-1000) (3,-1000) shear_lr direction=GlobalX values=(1,1500) (2,1500) push direction=GlobalY values=(2,-2000) (3,-2000) constraints pin tx=c ty=c free tx=u ty=u end
