This task will show you how to distribute on a face of your
part a resultant force. You will create a Distributed Force on a
Finite Element Model containing a Static
Analysis Case.
Select the Loads.1 object in the specification
tree to make it active.
Click Distributed Force
in the Loads toolbar.
The Distributed Force dialog box appears.
You will distribute on a face of your part a
resultant force of 50N parallel to the global z-direction
applied at the centroid of the face.
To do this:
Enter -50N value in Z field (Force
Vector).
The resultant Force VectorNorm
field is automatically updated.
Select the part face as indicated below.
A symbol (arrow) representing the distributed force
is displayed.
Click OK in the Distributed Force dialog box.
The Distributed Force.1 load appears under the Loads.1 set in the
specification tree.
