Force load in the Generative Design workspace

A force of the specified magnitude applied to the selected objects faces, edges, bodies, or vertices to simulate the effects of such force on the generative model.

You need to specify the magnitude of the load and the direction type in which it acts. The default direction of the force is normal to the selected object, but you can specify any axis direction (x,y,z) for the appropriate vector components (Fx, Fy, Fz).

When you select several objects, you apply the load of the specified magnitude to each of these objects.
