Loads

Create a Load Set

Insert a load set under a static analysis case and a preprocessing analysis case.

Create Pressures

Generate pressure loads over a surface.

Distributed Force Systems

Create a Distributed Force

Generate a distributed force system equivalent to a pure force at a point (given force resultant and no resultant moment).

Create a Distributed Moment

Generate a distributed force system equivalent to:

A pure couple (given moment resultant and no resultant force) if no handler point is specified. A rotational velocity with a unitary mass at each node if a handler point is specified.

Create a Bearing Load

Simulate contact loads applied to cylindrical parts.

Import Forces

Import forces from a text file or an excel file, either on a surface or on a virtual part.

Import Moments

Import moments from a text or an excel file, on a surface.

Force Densities

Create a Line Force Density

Generate a line force field of given uniform intensity on a part edge.

Create a Surface Force Density

Generate a surface traction field of given uniform intensity on a part face.

Create a Volume Force Density

Generate a volume body force field of given uniform intensity on a part.

Create a Force Density

Generate the equivalent of the existing line and surface force densities and volume force densities by giving as input only a force in Newton (N).

Body Motion Loads

Create an Acceleration

Generate a uniform acceleration field over a part.

Create Rotations

Generate a linearly varying acceleration field over a part.

Create Enforced Displacements

Assign non-zero displacement values to restrained geometric selections.

Temperature

Create Temperature Field

Load a body with a given temperature.

Import Temperature Field from Thermal Solution

Load a body with temperature imported from an existing thermal solution.
