I'm trying to learn more about SolidWorks structural simulation tool and I need some help with someone more experienced than myself. I've been watching some videos on this topic but I'm not sure if I have the simulation set up correctly. I'm experimenting with a remote mass on a steel beam tower structure. There is a remote load of 30,000 lbs distributed across the top flange faces of 4 beams. I would like to know if I have correctly set up this simulation. A few coworkers have asked me if I was able to do some simple simulation analysis and I figured I would do some education for myself in case of future requests. I've attached the drawing file with results. I did a study on the full structure and then a study on just a single column beam with a load of 30,000/16 = 1875lbs.
