A solid simply supported beam is loaded with a concentrated load at the top center. The support is assumed to be rigid. Geometry: 2"x1"×10" (depth x width x length) • Material: ASTM A 36 •Boundary condition: fixed at both ends •Force: 2,000 lbf at the center •Mesh: medium (default) •Analysis type: static a. Perform linear static analysis with solid elements for maximum displacement, stress b. Compare results with analytical results
