Comparative Numerical Analysis of Obtained Stress and Displacement Results from FEM Programs - Robot Structural Analysis and Adina in Example of a Steel Footbridge Subjected to the Dead Load

Abstract

In this paper the comparative analysis of obtained stress and displacements results from two different FEM programs – Robot Structural Analysis and ADINA was performed. As a subject of the analysis, the numerical model of the arch footbridge in steel construction was adopted.
