Abaqus Beam Modeling

This document provides instructions for modeling and analyzing a clamped-clamped beam using finite element analysis software. It describes creating the beam geometry, applying materials properties and cross sections, meshing with beam elements, applying boundary conditions and loads, and visualizing the results in terms of bending moment and shear force diagrams. The document compares modeling the beam with classical beam theory versus shear flexible beam theory.
