Question 1: Truss Element Model (50 marks)
The finite element model of a plane truss shown in the following figure is composed of 4 members having a square \(20\mathrm{~mm}\times 20\mathrm{~mm}\) cross section and the modulus of elasticity \( E=71\mathrm{GPa}\).
You should
1) compute the nodal displacements in the global coordinate system for the loads shown as well as all the reactions at each support; and
2) use ANSYS to conduct an FEA for validation using the same FE model.
