A test case for a one dimensional model of a cantilever beam which is fixed to a wall at the left end. Using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory three test cases are studied for which reference solutions are available, a point load at the left end, a uniform distributed load, and the natural vibration modes and frequencies without load.
This model is available as an automated tutorial by selecting Model Examples and Tutorials… > Structural Mechanics > Cantilever Beam from the File menu. Or alternatively, follow the linked step-by-step instructions.
