Force

Applies a force of the specified magnitude to the selected faces, edges, or vertices. When selecting multiple entities, the selection is limited to the same type as your first selection.

Access:

Ribbon: Stress Analysis tab Loads panel Force Alternatively, right-click the Loads node in the browser and select Force Load.

Location	Specifies the face, edge, or vertex on which to apply the load.
Direction	Specifies the force direction. The default direction is normal to the selected face and with the magnitude value. Magnitudes are applied into the face. The Direction Selector is automatically active allowing you to select geometry to define a different load direction. The Direction Reverse command inverts the direction of the selected vector.
Magnitude	Specifies the force magnitude.
OK	Create the force and close the dialog box.
Cancel	Close the dialog box without creating the force.
Apply	Create the force and keep the dialog box open.
(More)	Expands the dialog box to reveal additional controls for specifying the force vector and controlling glyph display.
Use Vector Components	Enables vector controls so that you can define more explicitly the force load vector. Specify the magnitude for the appropriate vector components for: Vector Components Fx = X component Fy = Y component Fz = Z component
Display Glyph	When checked, displays the force glyph in the graphics region.
Scale	Specifies scale of the force glyph. You can increase or decrease the glyph size.
	Specifies the force glyph color.
Name	Specifies a name for the load. The name you specify is displayed in the browser.
