Hello,
Could you please tell me the difference between Global Deflection and Local Deflection of a cantilever beam and a point is acting at free end?
The deflection I calculated using PL^3/3EI of a cantilever beam (W8x31 used) where a point P = 20kips acting at free end is not matching with the Staad results. Could you please tell me why both the results are not matching?
Please see the Staad screenshot below, I got 0.78 in. at the free end.
Thank you.
