STUDIES REGARDING THE STATIC ANALYSIS OF TRUSS STRUCTURES

This study focuses on the linear static analysis of truss structures in SolidWorks. Using a welded pipeline support as an example, the key stages of finite element analysis are examined: pre-processing, processing, and post-processing. The research utilizes specialized elements of the Weldment module for structural modeling. The results are visualized through the distribution of axial stresses and maximum displacements. The study demonstrates the practical application of SolidWorks' built-in tools for analyzing industrial structures. Particular attention is paid to the correct representation of the characteristics of truss systems.
