Hi all,

The below graphics show how I model the support, but I am not sure if it is correct or not.

I wonder if top flange and web have to be assigned pin support )U1=U2=U3=0) or not?

Thanks

Apply the supports only to the bottom edges of the beam.
 
Thanks FEA way!! For the end support, also only apply support to the bottom edges of the beam, right?
