Face Load
Add a Face Load to boundaries (for the Plate interface add it to domains), to use it as a pressure or tangential force acting on a surface. The loads are defined in the given coordinate system.
Force
Select a Load typeForce per unit area, Total force, or Pressure.
FA
Ftot
After selecting a Load type, the Load list normally only contains User defined. When combining with another physics interface, it is also possible to choose a predefined load from this list.
Moment
Enter values or expressions for the components of the moment face load MA.
You can add the Phase subnode to specify the phase of this load in a frequency domain analysis.
