Force
Applies a force vector to a selected boundary. The force will be evenly distributed over the selected boundary entities.
Edge Force
Applies a force vector to selected boundary edge entities. The force will be distributed over the nodes on the selected edge.
Surface Force
Applies a general force vector field to selected boundary face entities. The force will be distributed over the nodes of the selected faces.
Acceleration Load
Applies an acceleration load to a selected region. The applied force is calculated by multiplying the acceleration vector by the element masses and distributing over the nodes.
Point Force
Applies a point force to a selected boundary by distributing the load through rigid/flexible body elements.
Point Moment
Applies a point moment to a selected boundary by distributing the load through rigid/flexible body elements.
Pressure
Applies a pressure to selected boundary face entities.
Bearing Force
Applies a bearing load on a cylindrical boundary based on a sinusoidal distribution.
Cylindrical Restraint
Restrains partial or complete cylindrical faces in the 3 cylindrical degrees of freedom. If an input is empty, the corresponding degree of freedom will be unrestrained.
Displacement Restraint
Restrains the selected boundary entities in up to six degrees of freedom. If an input is empty, the corresponding degree of freedom will be unrestrained.
Point Restraint
Applies a displacement restraint to a remote point attached to selected boundary entities using rigid body elements.
Surface Heat Flux
Applies a distributed heat flux normal to selected boundary face entities.
Convection Boundary Load
Applies a convection load to selected boundary face entities.
Radiation Boundary Load
Applies a radiation load to selected boundary face entities for the given Ambient temp, Emissivity, and Stefan-Boltzmann constant of 5.670374419e-8 W.m^-2.K^-4.
Volumetric Heat Generation
Applies a heat generation density to a selected region.
Heat Generation
Applies a total heat generation power to a selected region. The quantity of heat generation is distributed across the nodes based on volume fraction.
Temperature Restraint
Applies a temperature restraint to selected boundary entities.
Initial Temperature
Defines the baseline temperature to be used in a thermal stress analysis. Thermal stress will be calculated from the difference between the initial temperature and the applied temperature load.
Applied Temperature Load
Defines the applied temperature load to be used in a thermal stress analysis. Thermal stress will be calculated from the difference between the initial temperature and the applied temperature load.
