Edge Load
Add an Edge Load as a force distributed along an edge (3D models) or boundary (2D models).
Force
Select a Load type — Force per unit length, Force per unit volume, or Total force. Enter values or expressions for the components.
FL
N/m
FV
Ftot
•
When Force per unit volume is selected, the given load is multiplied by the cross section area. This option is useful for modeling body loads like gravity or centrifugal loads.
•
After selecting a Load type, the Load list normally only contains User defined. When combining the Truss interface with another physics interface, it is also possible to choose a predefined load from this list.
•
You can add the Phase subnode to specify the phase of this load in a frequency domain analysis.
