Ring Load

A load applied to a point, not located at the axis of revolution, in a 2D axisymmetric model actually represents a ring load. Add a to points located at R > 0 to model such loads.

Force

Select the — or . Enter values or expressions for FL or Ftot.

•

The list normally only contains . When combining with another physics interface that can provide this type of load, it is also possible to choose a predefined load from this list.

•

The option should not be directly interpreted as a resultant, since the orientation is changing. Rather, it should be interpreted as the per unit length values, multiplied by 2πr, where r is the radius of the point.

Linear Buckling

To display this section, click the button (

) and select in the dialog box.

If you are performing a linear buckling analysis with a combination of live and dead loads, select the check box to indicate that the load contributions from this node are constant. The default is that a load is proportional to the load factor.


	For more information about live and dead loads, see Buckling Analysis.

•

You can add the Phase subnode to specify the phase of this load in a frequency domain analysis.

•

You can specify this load to be a Harmonic Perturbation in a frequency domain analysis.

•

You can assign this load to a load group. See Load Cases in the Structural Mechanics Modeling chapter.
