Gravity

Access:

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

Direction	Specifies the direction of gravity. This direction can be normal (perpendicular) to the face and with the magnitude value. When an edge is selected, the loads are applied parallel to the selected edge. 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 acceleration applied to the assembly in the context of the simulation.
OK	Create the gravity load and close the dialog box.
Cancel	Close the dialog box without creating the gravity load.
(More)	Expands the dialog box to reveal additional controls for specifying the gravity vector.
Use Vector Components	Enables vector controls so that you can define more explicitly the gravity vector. Specify the magnitude for the appropriate vector components for: Vector Components g[X] = X component g[Y] = Y component g[Z] = Z component
Display Glyph	When checked, displays the gravity load glyph in the graphics region.
Scale	Specifies scale of the gravity load glyph. You can increase or decrease the glyph size.
