Remote force load in the Generative Design workspace

A 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 force to act, the load magnitude, and the point in space from which the load is acting.

Note: You can select only those faces that are a part of the preserve geometry.

Remote forces are ideal when the object in space that it represents is unimportant to model, or too difficult to model. For example, the effect of wind on a mast, or force lifting a heavy object.

The default direction of a remote force is normal to the first selected face.
