Howdy Folks, I have been trying to recreate this simulation defined in this paper. I have attached the boundary conditions and the results. I have been trying to apply define remote displacements to prevent motion except rotation but I have not been able to solve it. I have been trying to use ANSYS Static Structural. Please let me know if I am using the right boundary conditions and solver.

Static Structural is the right analysis system for this.
The boundary conditions figure is a section view, I assume, and you are going to use a symmetry boundary condition to do a half model, is that your plan?
In Ansys, use a Fixed Support on one end and apply a Moment to the other end. I expect the rotational velocity is small and would have a negligible effect on the stress so can be ignored.

I've done some similar simulations using modal to find mode shape results.
I usually use remote displacements to constraint the models, would you please share the boundary conditions?, I think there is an issue with the image.
Regards!
