Procedure
 In this lab session we work on the cantilever i-section beam.
 So that first of all we open the workbench and from static structure we select the geometry.
 In the geometry portion we first draw a straight line and then select i-section then give
dimension and then click on the generate.
 After we go to the meshing portion where we apply mesh on it. And further we select one fix
point for cantilever. And at the other end we apply forces. Then we click on the generate.
 After that we apply different types of forces at its forces side.
