About this Block
What it does: Applies an acceleration load to a selected region. The applied force is calculated by multiplying the acceleration vector by the element masses and distributing it over the nodes. Common uses:- Adding gravity to a simulation.
- The reference Frame defines the components of the Vector. This input is optional. Leaving it blank automatically applies the global coordinate system.
- Acts on a defined FE Region.
