    Time varying loads can't be deal in static structure module that's why I have employed transient structural module for thi purpose. A simple beam with different loads with at different times are used as an example.

    Finite Element Analysis

    Assignment No. 3
    Problem:
    Evaluate deformation of a beam fixed at both ends and subjected to a time varying
    load with maximum magnitude (Roll number) at its mid span. Compare results with
    static structural analysis of assignment 1. Choose material, dimensions and units of
    your choice.
    Drawing Geometry:
    We are basically covering this problem in number of steps. Using Transient structure as
    principle module, we imported geometry directly from SolidWorks. Dimensions for
    beam are 200x10x5 mm

    Meshing The Beam:


    Next step is the apply meshing on the beam. For this purpose, go to mesh command and
    apply automatic method. Moving on, generate mesh to follow up mesh.
    Applying Fixed Supports:
    To fulfill requirements of fixed beam, we need to apply fixed support on both end. Go to
    Transient Structure tab, click and choose fixed beam support. Now use face tool to select
    both ends and fix it on both ends.
    Applying Force:
    Forces in transient structure behave differently due to time varying load. We have to
    make time settings before we apply forces. Number of forces will be applied with final
    one of magnitude 413 N. We are applying total of three forces of magnitude 113 N, 200
    N, 100 N.
    Total Deformation:
    Now go to solution tab and apply total deformation.
    Note that maximum and minimum deflection can be measured by plotting points.
