Problem 1(50 points): For the following truss system, use FEA software to find out the maximum
displacement. Please include in your report the following (a) a snapshot from the software showing the
contour plot of the stress component S11 associated with the deformed structure and labeled nodes and
elements. Note you may obtain a different nodes and elements numbering to the one shown in Fig. 1, but
you must ensure that there are 15 elements and 9 nodes only; (b) a list of the nodal reaction forces and
displacements; and (c) point out which point has the maximum nodal displacement and calculate the
magnitude of the displacement.
