Body Load
Add a Body Load to boundaries (for the Plate interface add it to domains). The loads are defined in the given coordinate system.
Force
Enter values or expressions for the components (x, y, z) of the body load FV.
The list selection for FV normally only contains User defined. When combining the Shell interface with another physics interface, it is also possible to select a predefined load from this list.
Moment
Enter values or expressions for the components (x, y, z) of the moment body load ML.
Linear Buckling
To display this section, click the Show More Options button () and select Advanced Physics Options in the Show More Options dialog box.
If you are performing a linear buckling analysis with a combination of live and dead loads, select the Treat as dead load 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.
 
You can add the Phase subnode to specify the phase of this load in a frequency domain analysis.
