Feasibility of a Problem 1

[neptunium]

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a mechanics of materials problem about the deflection of a beam. I am super new to Abaqus and I would like to get your thoughts on whether Abaqus can help me solve this problem. Attached I am sending a summary of the problem description. I would be so glad if you could give me some information about the feasibility of solving this problem with Abaqus.

Thank you all in advance

It should be possible using nonlinear connectors or contact with rigid supports and non-default normal/tangential behavior settings.
