Find the end deflection a cantilever beam with the following properties using any FEA software and compare
with theory. The beam is deflecting under its own weight represented by a uniformly distributed load (UDL).
Figure 1 - Cantilever beam with a transverse UDL
Breadth, b = 50 mm
Depth, d = 200 mm
Length, L = 1000 mm
Young's Modulus, E = 200 GN/m^2
Density, rho = 8000 kg/m^3
Poisson's Ratio = 0.3 Ans = 0.015 [mm]
