Loaded beam model: Load boundary conditions (LBC) setup

- [Instructor] Now in the previous video,…we simplified the beam geometry and we setup a set of points…to be able to apply the loads.…So now we'll carry on and create the study.…So Simulation, New Study,…and we're going to call this I Beam…and it's going to be a static analysis,…so we just check OK.…Now we want to apply material to this,…so we Apply Edit Material,…and we're going to use the default alloy steel.…So Apply and then we close.…Now at the moment the icon is indicating…this will be treated as solid geometry,…so if we mesh we'd create solid elements.…

We want to change that action and say,…Treat as a Beam.…You can see the icon changes and we know…from our previous work, that's a beam icon.…Let's go in and review that.…So edit the definition.…We can see indeed it's being treated as a beam.…Here's end one which is on the right-hand side,…and two on the left-hand side.…Now that's quite important because it defines…the coordinate system for all the elements…which we created in this beam section.…We can also show the beam directions,…
