solving a bridge truss as shown in the figure $1.$ Conisder the truss beams to have circular cross$-$section with diameter of $30$ cm $.$ The material can be taken as steel.

Perform linear static sructural analysis in ANSYS and find the following:

$($a$)$ Deformed shape of the bridge truss and Location of the frame undergoing maximum deflection.

$($b$)$ Maximum tension, compressive and shear force and Reactions at the support.

$($c$)$ Compare the reaction forces with hand calculations using the concept of equilibrium of rigid body. Drawing the free body diagram is a must.
