Examples & Tutorials

Here you will find some FEM examples developed with WeStatiX that will help you to understand how to create a model, perform the analysis and read the results. For each example there is always a link to the model already created in WeStatiX! This way you are free to view each part in detail and perform the analysis.

In addition to the guides listed below, there are also three videos at your disposal so you can follow all the steps to define the templates:

• a cantilever beam
• a two-dimensional frame
• a three-dimensional frame with one- and two-dimensional elements

Do not forget that many of these examples are taken from our Validation Manual, where we compare WeStatiX results with analytical results.

Here is the list of tutorials you can find in the cloud:
