Static Structural information in ANSYS Workbench.

Question

I am using Ansys Workbench to model/analyze my Bridge created in AutoCAD/SolidWorks using lines and splines. When I import it into Ansys and zoom in at the intersection/corner I notice it kind of deforms, however if I use Boolean operation it works fine. Since I will be using different cross-sections I can't use the Boolean operation. I have also tried to merge all line bodies into a single part (Form New Body Part) after applying the freeze option, and it still did not work. Can anyone please help?

ANSYS is a very complicated software which requires extensive knowledge regarding the way it works. However, I have analyzed all the results about static structural analysis and it appears there are video guides on how to achieve that. It's better to watch a tutorial to see exactly what needs to be than than using text indications. You can access these tutorials through Google Search: https://goo.gl/b3HgL1
