Hello!

I'm new to ANSYS and don't quite get along with this software. I'm trying to do a simple analysis of beam shown below.



I specified beam section with MM: Processor -> Sections -> Beam -> Common Sections and applied R=0.02257(which corresponds to A=0.0016), N=12, T=8.

I keep getting this incorrect solution where beam is bending the opposite way than it's supposed to.



Here's my code:

Code:
 ENTER  /SHOW,DEVICE-NAME  TO ENABLE GRAPHIC DISPLAY
 ENTER  FINISH             TO LEAVE PREP7
 PRINTOUT KEY SET TO /GOPR (USE /NOPR TO SUPPRESS)

 ELEMENT TYPE       1 IS BEAM188      3-D 2-NODE BEAM
  KEYOPT( 1- 6)=        0      0      0        0      0      0
  KEYOPT( 7-12)=        0      0      0        0      0      0
  KEYOPT(13-18)=        0      0      0        0      0      0
