Abstract
The tireless quest for better living conditions makes people use technological resources as manners to balance a work/economy/safety relationship. Those technological resources have been applied more frequently in engineering. This is due to development of simulation software in order to provide greater economic viability in engineering projects. The considerable growth in the infrastructure market, further promoted the application of beams in projects, linked to this is the concern with the deformations that are caused to them. In this sense, the deformation suffered by a beam was evaluated via structure analysis using the ANSYS Mechanical software. The beam is at one extremity and supported by fixed support at the other extremity. To obtain the values of deformations a beam was developed in ANSYS, and after, the deformation was found through finite element methods. To verify the methodology effectiveness proposed in this study the numerical results were compared to data obtained in the tests and theoretical calculations. Through the values obtained, it was concluded that the values obtained in the simulation present deformations very similar to the tests and the theoretical calculation.
