Hello,

I’m trying to find the free body loads of a beam but when I do a simple verification the results are not OK.

What I obtain from hand-made calculs are not the same as FEM show me.

For example, I should obtain a moment of 5.0E3 and in FEM I obtain 4.385E3.

why?

I have my beam that should have a moment of 7.5e3 et now I obtain 6.0e3 in FEM. Does anyone knows what's happening?

I have already checked the reference system, the point and lever-arm are both OK...
