Applying Gravity

Gravity lets you apply a linear force that acts uniformly on all bodies in a model.

  1. From the Scenarios section of the action bar, click Gravity .
  2. Optional: Change the name of the gravity load.
  3. Optional: Change the orientation of the gravity load.

    You can specify a new orientation by selecting options from the context toolbar or by right-clicking the gravity load's glyph and selecting one of the positioning tools that appear.

  4. Optional: Modify the magnitude of the gravity load in the X-, Y-, and Z-directions.

    The directions are defined in relation to the orientation defined in the previous step.
