Click Loads > Pressure to specify a traction. Select the right edge of the geometry and apply it in the details view window. The pressure's magnitude from the problem specification is -1e6 psi (pressure in ANSYS defaults to compression, and we need tension, hence the negative sign). Now that the forces have been set, we need to set up the solution before we solve.
