Beam dynamic analysis

Hi,
I am trying to use hyperworks to do a beam dynamic analysis.
Basically, the scenario is as follows:
First, a distributed load is applied on a cantilever beam. The beam deflects according to the load.
Second, release the load and the beam vibrates.
How should I set up the loadsteps to find the resulting motion of the above steps?

Thank you
