Loads Section

The Loads section provides commands for applying concentrated or distributed tractions to a model from an external source.

Pressure
Applies a distributed load normal to a surface.
See Applying Pressures.
Force
Applies a translational load in a single direction on an area.
See Applying Forces.
Remote Force
Applies a translational load in a single direction at an offset location.
See Applying Remote Forces.
Remote Torque
Applies a twisting load at an offset location.
See Applying Remote Torques.
Gravity
Applies a linear force that acts uniformly on all bodies in the model.
See Applying Gravity.
Applied Translation
Applies a displacement in a single direction.
See Applying Translations.
Centrifugal Force
Applies a rotational velocity to the model about an axis.
See Applying Centrifugal Forces.
Bearing Load
Applies a distributed force from an imaginary cylindrical surface pressing on an opposing concave cylindrical surface.
See Applying Bearing Loads.
