I get a value around 0.045 mm at the right end away from the point load. This is about a 10% deviation from the hand calculation result of 0.05 mm we obtained in our Pre-Analysis. This is a reasonable agreement considering that the hand calculation ignores the high stress areas at the left and right ends. But these high stress areas (both tensile and compressive) affect relatively small areas of the model and so don't contribute a lot to the overall displacement.
