Solution phase: assigning loads and solving
11. Define analysis type:
Solution > Analysis Type > New Analysis > Static ANTYPE, 0
12. Apply constraints:
Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > On
Keypoints
Pin keypoint 1 (i.e., UX and UY constrained) and fix keypoint 2 in the
y direction (UY constrained).
13. Apply loads:
We will apply a distributed load, of 1000N/m or 1N/mm, over the
entire length of the beam. Select:
Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Pressure > On
Beams
Click Pick All in the Apply F/M window.
As shown in the following figure, enter a value of 1 in the field VALI
Pressure value at node I, then click OK.
The applied loads and constraints should now appear as shown in the
following figure.
