Use the Applied Force to apply a force to the rigid connector. The force can act at an arbitrary position in space, and if it is not located at the center of rotation, there is also a moment contribution. The force that you specify is interpreted in the selected coordinate system.

The Coordinate system list contains all applicable coordinate systems in the model. Select a Coordinate system for specifying the directions of the force.

Select an option from the list: Center of rotation or User defined. This is the location where the force is applied.

Select the Offset check box to add an optional offset vector to the definition of the location. Enter values for the offset vector Xoffset.

Select the Direction of the applied force — Space-fixed direction or Body-fixed direction.

Enter values or expressions for the components of the Applied force F. The direction coordinate names can vary depending on the selected coordinate system.
