Solution for Nodal Displacements and Rotations in Frame Structure

Solution for Question 1:
Solution for nodal displacements for given figure 1 using APDL scripting.
Figure 2. Displacement plot of deformed vs. un-deformed shape of structure in APDL

Following are the tabular results are solution using ANSYS APDL:
Node Number Ux (m) Uy (m)
1 0 0
2 0.04446 -0.05791
3 0.07661 -0.07549
4 0.10254 0
5 0.10698 -0.03602
6 0.09428 -0.07247
