We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Usually the larger deflection (less stiff model) is the more correct one.  In such a short beam shear deformation would be significant.  It would be interesting to compare solutions for a long cantilever beam.  We have patch tests in the Verification Manual so it's unlikely the Ansys solution is wrong.
