Cantilever beam finite element analysis using open source software

     In this video I'm modeling, meshing and computing a cantilever beam using open source software. For the model and mesh, I've used Salome7, and the finite element computations were carried out with Calculix. This is meant to be an practical introductory video to free fea software. Theres an insane amount of theoretical books about this subject out there, take a look on them before designing your own cranes (LoL). 



The code for the calculix input deck:

Cheers!
