In structure static analysis gravity of structure generally considered or Not ?
If we won't give gravity to the structure,structure self load may acct on the body or Not?
How the structure self load acct on the body.....It depand's on gravity or any other condination
Exp...
Right nw i am doing container structure static ansys..
Cantainer structure weight apprx 500kg
External load's accting on structure apprx 400kg
Cantainer bottom fixed.
In this case....Gravity may apply or not.
How the cantainer self load may acct on body.
If gravity is present in the physical system, then you should include it. The finer point is whether or not you consider the changes in the structure's stiffness due to the self-loading stresses.
