If I don't turn on the Nlgeom on, what will happen for a elastic material. I mean Abaqus will consider the local elasticity for a built-in-end of a elastic material cantilever beam or not. What will happen to displacement for that beam. The FEA result should be equal to delta= FL^3/3EI or larger than that value.
Please help.
 
If you do not turn NLGEOM on, the program uses a small displacements formulation.
