This document summarizes the results of a nonlinear dynamic simulation of a 52.3m beam profile. The maximum von Mises stress was 2.06e8 N/m^2. The maximum displacement was 7162.71 mm. The maximum velocity was 730.022 mm/s and the maximum acceleration was 12.1129 mm/s^2. In conclusion, the results were consistent with an earlier static analysis for the 10 second simulation with 0.1 second time steps.

Conclusion
Static structural analysis has been done on the model with similar boundary conditions and the obtained
results have been assessed thoroughly. Being a beam with above 50m span it was inevitable to do a
nonlinear study with large displacement option turned on. The results seems to be on par with the static
results for a time of 10 seconds and 0.1 second time step.
