Determine the member force and axial stress in each member of the truss shown in the figure

Question:

Determine the member force and axial stress in each member of the truss shown in the figure using a commercial finite element analysis program. Assume that Young's modulus is \(10^{4} \mathrm{psi}\) and all crosssections are circular with a diameter of \(2 \mathrm{in}\). Compare the results with the exact solutions that are obtained from the freebody diagram.
