| Normal Force
|
Uniform
|
Faces of solids and shells, and edges of shells
|
N/A |
Unit and value of the force. The program applies the specified force to EACH entity.
|
| Nonuniform
|
Faces
|
Coordinate system to define intensity
|
Unit and value of the force and polynomial coefficients to define the intensity. The program applies the specified force to EACH face.
|
| Directional Force
|
Uniform
|
Reference points, vertices, edges, faces, joints, beams
|
Face, edge, plane, or axis
|
Unit and value of the force. The program applies the specified force to EACH entity.
|
| Nonuniform
|
Faces of solids and shells, edges of shells, beams
|
Face, edge, plane, or axis for direction, and a coordinate system for intensity
|
Unit and value of the force and polynomial coefficients to define the intensity. The program applies the specified force to EACH entity.
|
| Torque
|
Faces (usually circular or cylindrical faces), beams.
|
Axis or a cylindrical face
|
Unit and value of the torque. The program applies the specified torque to EACH entity.
