-
From the Loads section of the action bar, click Gravity
.
- Optional:
Change the name of the gravity load.
- Optional:
Select the geometry supports in the model to which you want
to apply gravity.
Gravity can be applied to the whole model or to individual
bodies.
- 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.
- 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.
- Optional:
From the Axis system definition
list, define the axis system in which gravity acts.
Option | Description |
---|
Global |
Align the local feature triad with the global
coordinate system. |
Local |
Align the local feature triad with a selected
axis system in the model. |
Specify |
Orient the local feature triad directly by
right-clicking the feature triad glyph on the model
and selecting an orientation tool. |
- Optional:
Enter a Scale factor that is applied to the magnitude in each step.
-
Select an
Amplitude that
defines the magnitude during the
step.
-
Click OK.
