Add a Face Load node to apply tractions or pressure on boundaries where the
Thin Layer material is active.
The Global coordinate system is selected by default. The
Coordinate system list contains all applicable coordinate systems in the model. Prescribed loads are specified along the axes of this coordinate system.
Select the Load type —
Force per unit area,
Total force, or
Pressure.
Force per unit length is also available for 2D components. Then enter values or expressions for the boundary load components based on the selection and the space dimension.
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.
