modulus=29000000 psi for steel
moment of inertia=3.14*diameter^4/64 for a solid round
enter your length in inches
enter the point load as how much weight will be on it.
pick the loading case, 4 is the simplest.
hit go
or are you looking for just the deflection of the rod with no load?
then you need case 23
set q to the weight per inch=volume*density=3.14*d^2/4*.283
wow it took me a sec to figure out all the stuff but wow that made it easy now my next question what is an acceptable amount of deflection or should i aim for zero?
