For the beam that is subjected to a distributed loading as shown in Fig$\mathrm{.}1,$ determine the

deflection of the beam at midpoint and stresses of the elements,

a$)$ Using $2$ elements in FEA with hand calculations

b$)$ Using ASYS Workbench with $2,4,10$ and $50$ elements $($Use $1$D elements while

modeling$)$

c$)$ Compare the results
