 The boundary conditions of the edge constraints and
loading can now be applied. These will be done, one at a
time, starting from the fixed left edge.
 Select Analysis Settings under Static Structural. Select
the Supports tab on the upper menu bar with Fixed
Support option, then select Face icon (box with arrow and
