8. Click the Data > Problem type > Structural Application command to load the Solver.
9. Click the Structural Application > Nodal Values command, select the surface icon and fix all displacement. Click the Assign button and select the bottom surfaces of the model.
10. Select Point icon, and then select Force. Type values of nodal forces and assign it in the top center point of the model.

11. Click the Structural Application > Elements command, select the volume icon. A list of available elements is displayed. Select the TotalLagrangian3D8N and assign it to the volumes of the model. This element can be applied only for hexahedra.
12. Click the Structural Application > Structure Materials command and type all material properties of the model. Isotropic material is assumed at first instance. Click in the Update changes icon to save the data. Then assign it to all volume object of the model. To give effect to the changes do not forget to click close button.

15. Click the Mesh > Structured > Volumes command and select all volume in the model. In the Enter value window type 60 number of cells and assign it to the all vertical lines of
the model. Press Esc and then type 3 number of cells applied to the all horizontal lines on top and bottom of the model.
16. Click the Mesh > Structured > Draw > Num of Divisions command to display all line divisions.
17. Click the Mesh > Structured > Generate mesh command. A Dialog window appears like the bottom left figure.
