Use a simple test case, such as a fixed-free beam subjected to uniformly distributed loading, to discover if nodal moments due to distributed loading are applied to beam elements. Compare the finite element solution for free end displacement using 1 and 2 model elements to the classical beam theory answer of dy = wL4/(8EI), where w is the uniformly distributed loading, L is the total length of the beam, E is Young's modulus, and I is the principal moment of inertia evaluated about the axis for which bending is taking place

Beams

In structural engineering, a beam is a component made of a variety of materials (including steel alloys, and wood) that can resist loads applied laterally to the beam axis. Members, elements, rafters, shafts, and purlins are all terms used to describe beams.
