    The document provides steps to define structural elements and generate a mesh for finite element analysis. It instructs the user to create a line displacement between points (0,4) and (1,4), set the displacement to fixed, and specify a uniform displacement of -0.05m in the vertical direction. It then states that once the geometry model is complete, the finite element mesh can be generated by choosing the mesh mode.

    1.2 Define structural elements


    Step 15: Click Structural Tab in main window
    Step 16: Click Create prescribed displacement button. Select Create line displacement option.
    Step 17: In the draw area move the cursor to point (0,4) and click the left mouse button. Move
    to point (1,4) and click left mouse button again. Click right mouse button to stop drawing
    Step 18: Set the prescribed displacement (Displacementx) to Fixed. Specify uniform
