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.
Tips:
  • 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.
