So I am trying to simulate the bending of ABS for a cantilever beam. However, I am getting some really weird results. For some reason it looks that my beam is deflecting improperly and I can not find any solution on the internet or otherwise. Below is a picture of the beam deflecting in ANSYS and then is Solidworks simulation.

It looks like SW is using follower loads as default.
If you want ansys to use follower loads there is an ACT aplication in the ansys portal that will give you the ability to assign quite easily follower forces and moments.
