Step 5: Solution

Now that we have set up the boundary conditions, we can actually solve for a solution. Before we do that, let's take a minute to think about what is the post-processing that we are interested in. We are interested in the deflection and bending stress on the beam. We would also like to look at the force and moment reaction at our support A and B. Let's set up those post-processing parameters before we click solve button.

Outline > Solution (A6) > Insert > Probe > Force Reaction

Select Remote Displacement (which is point A) next to Boundary Condition under Details of "Force Reaction".

Do the same step for Remote Displacement 2 (point B).
Next we will like to check and see that the moment at point A and B is zero.
Outline > Solution (A6) > Insert > Probe > Moment Reaction
Select Remote Displacement (which is point A) next to Boundary Condition under Details of "Moment Reaction".

Do the same step for Remote Displacement 2 (point B).
We are done setting up all the results. Click Solve at the top menu to obtain a solution. Wait for a minute for the solution.
