A simply supported boundary condition can be modelled several ways in Scan&Solve. This document will cover two methods of going about this. Both methods will allow for rotation to occur at the ends of the beams. In both cases, a 1.0 kN scalar force was applied to the top face of the I-beam.

The first method will be a slightly less accurate representation, but easier to set up. This case restrains all displacements along the neutral axis of each end.
