The document contains summaries of two simulations:
1) A 1-D bar deformation simulation of a tapered bar with fixed and tensile boundary conditions, where ANSYS was used to plot strain distribution and MATLAB plotted strain vs position.
2) A 2-D heat conduction simulation of a rectangular geometry with essential and natural boundary conditions, where ANSYS plotted temperature distribution and MATLAB again plotted temperature distribution with heat generation over the geometry.
