Go to Step 5: Numerical Solution

Apply a Point Force to The Right Side of The Beam

Once again, click on the vertex pointer option, Image Removed, but now click the right edge of the line body. A green box should now appear on the right side of the line body as seen below.

Right click on the Static Structural folder again, then click insert and this time select Force as shown below.

At this point, there should be a "Details of "Force"" window in the lower left corner of the Setup window. Expand "Definition" if it is not already expanded and then change "Define by" to Components as seen below.

Now, click on the box to the right of Y Component without clicking the Y component button and change the force to -8000N. That is, you should NOT check the box to the left of Y Component. Your "Details of "Force"" window should now look very similar to the following image.

You should also see the following downward facing red arrow on the right side of the line body.

The fixed end and the point force have now been applied.
Leave the Setup window open for the next step.
