My question is, that I am having a "round cross section beam" which is simply supported (i.e fixed support at one end and displacement at other end ) having force at the center ( at mid point ) on top surface of the round 3d beam.

So, how to apply this constraints of fixed support and displacement (i.e either on surface or edge or point) for simply supported beam? And how to apply force at the "mid point" of the outer surface of round beam?

As in the case of "square" cross section simply supported beam, we apply fixed support to the "edge" of rectangular beam and displacement to "edge" at the other end of the beam ( by setting the respective axis to free and constant). So how to deal with the case of round simply supported beam.
