Launch Mechanical
(double click) Model, 
, in the "Cantilever Modal" project.
Generate Default Mesh
First, (click) Mesh in the tree outline. Next, 0 as shown below.
Size Mesh
In this section we will size the mesh, such that it has ten uniform elements. In order to size the mesh, first expand Sizing located within the
Details of "Mesh" table. Next, set Element Size to 0.40 m, as shown below.
Now, (click) Mesh > Generate Mesh in order to generate the new mesh. You should obtain the mesh, that is shown in the following image.
