Find the end deflection a cantilever beam with the following properties using any FEA software and compare
with theory. The beam is fixed one end not allowing any displacement or rotation and the other end has
a transverse force,P of 20kN applied at the opposite end as shown in figure 1.

Breadth, b = 50 mm
Depth, d = 200 mm
Length, L = 1000 mm
Young's Modulus, E = 200 GN/m^2
Poisson's Ratio = 0.3 Ans = 1 [mm]
