flexible beam with compliant joints

$

I am trying to expand the ridgid beam model to flexible beam model to 1.) use fixed walled end to calulate cantilever deflection from a constant load, and visualize deflection; and then 2.) incorporate a compliant walled joint (rotary joint) with stiff rotational spring. To get angles of rotation; and finally simulate a periodic force and calc/plot all reactions/theta(t).

 

There is a video on line of a round beam with fixed-fixed ends and a translating weight with deflection visulized, but only a you tube vid can be found of this set-up.   It is close to what I need.

 

Lastly, if anyone knows how to send the diagram to maple as in A:=MapleSim:-___()

This method to transfer from Sim to maple with diagram and current session(#?) was done in a tutorial vid from MapleSim session. I am using Maple/MapleSim 2017 which is difficult to follow changes in workspace and commands from vids/tutorials.

PS. I have connected through opening a new worksheet and explicitly opening by filename.
