The reason for applying "massless steel" to the sign is a result of the problem specification. The uniformly distributed load WZ1 represents the weight of the sign body.
Note: It is more correct to treat the weight of the sign as a body force by applying the acceleration of gravity to all bodies. However, a uniformly distributed load WZ1 was applied for closer agreement between analytical calculations and the FEA model..
Note: To prevent a "pivot warning" message from appearing in the numerical solution, change the thickness of the WX2_ApplicationSurface to 1e-3.
