About the cantilever beam example

The cantilever beam example is a basic tutorial for the experienced Abaqus user.

The example leads you through the Abaqus/CAE modeling process by visiting each of the modules and shows you the basic steps to create and analyze a simple model. In Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE, you create a model of a steel cantilever beam and load its top surface. You then analyze the beam and plot the resulting stresses and displacements. Figure 1 illustrates the model that you create and analyze.
