2. Design of Experiments for a Loaded Cantilever Beam
You will learn how to:
• Create the geometry of a part and define parameters that control the dimensions of the part
• Create a structural physics simulation that loads the part, and define parameters that extract the mass
and the maximum displacement and stress from the results
• Create a Design of Experiments simulation that explores changes in the geometry of the part and the
resulting change in behaviour.
• Review the results of the design exploration.
• Define objectives and search for the best design.

3. Problem
Description
You will create a model of a simple
cantilever beam. The initial
dimensions of the beam are a
height of 20 mm (h), a width of 30
mm (b), and a length of 200 mm
(L), as shown.

4. Conditions:
 The beam is fixed at one end, and you will apply a vertical load of 10,000 N to the free end (P).
 The beam is made of steel, which is assumed to be an isotropic and linear elastic material with a
Young's modulus of 200 GPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.3, and a density of 7800 kg/m3.

5. Objective
• You create a physics simulation
that calculates the response of
the beam to the fixed load.
• You then include the physics
simulation in a Process
Composer workflow and drive
the simulation from a DOE that
varies the dimensions of the
beam (height, width, and length)
between specified limits.
• The DOE studies the effect of
varying the dimensions on the
mass of the loaded beam, the
peak von Mises stress, and the
maximum displacement.
