Since you have a Fixed Support, you probably have an error in the value of Young's modulus in Engineering Data such as putting in the MPa number when the units were set to Pa so you have an error of 1 million. Or maybe the Force is off by a lot.  Check the numbers and units carefully.

Another way to approach this is to use a Displacement instead of a Force.
