Toggle gravity on or off in the Simulation workspace

Gravity is turned off by default for a new structural simulation study. In Simulation workspace, Setup tab, Load menu, the following command appears when gravity is disabled:

Toggle Gravity On toggle gravity on icon

Click this command to turn on the gravity load.

Conversely, if gravity is currently enabled, the following command appears in the Simulation workspace, Setup tab, Load menu:

Toggle Gravity Off toggle gravity off icon

Click this command to turn off the gravity load.

Note: When you apply a Hydrostatic Pressure load to any face of the model, the program automatically activates gravity. The direction of gravity controls the direction of increasing pressure for this type of load.
