Loads can be applied to both part nodes and elements. When applying elemental loads to a part, the element(s), direction of the load (force), and the magnitude of the load must be specified.
Pressure loading conditions
Pressure loads can be applied to the part model to test whether pressures applied after molding will deform the part.
Surface loading conditions
Surface loads can be applied to the model after ejection to predict the part's post-molding stresses or warpage.
Thermal loading conditions
To simulate the effects that an increase in temperature has on part stresses, you can set a thermal load on the model.
Volume loading conditions
In a Stress analysis, a load, or force, can be applied to the part, and the resulting deflections are measured. Volume loading can be used to simulate the effects of gravity in a Stress analysis.
