Remote moment load in the Generative Design workspace

A moment load added from a point in space that is not on the generative model.

You define the target face(s) on the model, the direction in which you want the moment to act, the load magnitude, and the remote point in space of the Source Location.

The moment load is a twisting load that attempts to rotate a body perpendicular to the designated rotational axis, to simulate the effects of a torque on the generative model. Remote moments are ideal when the object in space that it represents is unimportant to model, or too difficult to model.

The default direction of the moment axis is normal to the first selected face, but you can specify any axis direction (x,y,z) for the appropriate moment components (Mx, My, and Mz).
