ANSYS 12 - Beam - Step 4

Step 4: Setup (Physics)

We need to specify point BC's at A, B, C and D.
Let's start with setting up boundary condition at A.
Outline > Static Structural (A5) > Insert > Displacement
Select point A in the Graphics window and click Apply next to Geometry under Details of "Displacement". Enter 0 for both X Component and Y Component.

Let's move on to setting up boundary condition B.
Outline > Static Structural (A5) > Insert > Displacement
Select point B in the Graphics window and click Apply next to Geometry under Details of "Displacement". Enter 0 for Y Component and leave X Component to be free.
