Remote Force
Alternatively, right-click the Loads node in the browser and select Remote Force Load. |
Location | Specifies the face on which to apply the remote load. |
Direction |
Specifies either a Normal or directional force. A Normal force is applied perpendicular to the face and with the amplitude value. The Direction Selector is automatically active allowing you to select geometry to define the load direction. The Direction Reverse command inverts the direction of the selected vector. |
Magnitude | Specifies the force magnitude. |
Remote Point | Specifies the X, Y, and Z components of the remote force location |
OK | Create the remote force and close the dialog box. |
Cancel | Close the dialog box without creating the remote force. |
Apply | Create the remote force and keep the dialog box open. |
(More) | Expands the dialog box to reveal additional controls for specifying the force vector. |
Use Vector Components |
Enables vector controls so that you can define more explicitly the remote force vector. Specify the magnitude for the appropriate vector components for: Vector Components
|
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. Click to display the color selector and specify a different color. | |
Name | Specifies a name for the load. The name you specify is displayed in the browser. |
