Hi, I'm new to ABAQUS CAE 6.4-1

Right now, I'm trying to make a simple model of a steel cantilever beam and apply a gravity load on the beam and possibly a point load on the end. I'm trying to run this in Explicit but when I try to run the analysis, it gives me errors of excessively distorted elements near the constrained end of the beam.

Any suggestions or tips?
