        abstract = {It is a static structural analysis study on hollow rectangular cantilever beam using ANSYS and with the aim of viewing its mechanical behavior under loading with a point load. The beam was considered to be made of structural steel with an inner dimension of 25 mm × 15 mm and with equal thickness at walls of 2 mm and thereby having an outside cross-sectional dimension of 29 mm × 19 mm. The total length of the length of beam is 182.88 mm. It was given fixed support on one end and vertical point load of 82 N at the free end on a standard cantilever load case. Finite element analysis was conducted on ANSYS for determining parameters such as overall deformation, equivalent (von Mises) distribution and strain distribution. The FEA results were compared with analytically determined values using classical beam bending theory to verify of model. There was good correlation between the results from analytical and FEA which ensures ANSYS is ideal for structural analysis. This study demonstrates the credibility of simulation software in finding and optimizing structural behavior particularly for components with localized load.
