In this tutorial I'll Show you how to Simulate Pipe Rack Beam in Solidworks Simulation.

1. Step 1: Material

   First decide which material works for you design.

   I have used Galvanized Steel from Solidworks material library

   
   

2. Step 2: Fixing Each End

   Next fix two side of the model.

3. Step 3: Assembly Consideration(Contacts)

   note that simulation is in Assembly, so we should modify contact set to "no Penetration"

4. Step 4: Constrain Steel plate

   because we want to constrain plate movement in one dimension so we should constrain it in other two plane. we do this by "Advanced Fixture"

5. Step 5: Loading

   Loading 7000 N in vertical direction .

6. Step 6: Mesh & Run

   Mesh & Run . Default value is OK

7. Step 7: Results
