      How can I apply a non-conservative follower force on a beam  ! when I have been through the different types of forces , pressure...etc ,  it did occur to me that this option does not exist  !

      A non-conservative follower force is a force which keeps tracking the deformed shape of the beam (i.e) while bending .  it is a bit similar to pressure but not exactly !

      I stumbled onto this element in the ANSYS Help, the Follower Force.
