I am starting to learn how to use ANSYS APDL. So I don't have much knowledge in the software.

I have modelled a cantilever beam (with beam188 elements) and the only load that i have applied was the self weight.

When I ask for the shear force diagram (element table) and plot the results, the SFD looks like this:

Shouldn't it be linear? What happened?

Dear madam , pls make beam with keypoints and then do meshing with mesh tool and use smisc3 and 16 for bending moment and smisc 6 & 19 for shear force
