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

**DFQ** If you know statics, it helps in understanding. A uniform beam (Constant EI) with Length = L has both ends fixed. Applied loading is a uniformly varying load, zero at the left end, W at the right end. Units of the load are pounds per foot. Your results will be stated in terms of W, L, EI.You will use Laplace Transforms to solve for the beam deflection expression. Other quantities to be determined from the deflections will use derivatives. Your results will be stated in terms of W, L, EI.
