Buckled Pipe

This is the buckled steel pipe subjected to pure moment loading.

The deformed shape was solved in an older version of the ANSYS Ed structural analysis program and converted to a .stl file. This was a large displacement plastic buckling analysis using quarter symmetry, later expanded to the full shape.
