1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click the External Loads icon an select Remote Load/Mass .

2. Under Type, select Load/Mass (Rigid connection).

3. In the graphics area, click the faces to which you want to apply the remote load.

4. Set the Reference Coordinate System to Global (default global), or User defined. For User defined, click inside the Select a Coordinate System box , then select a coordinate system from the flyout FeatureManager tree.

5. Under Location, do the following:

1. Select the desired Units for length .

2. Type the coordinates of the point of application of the remote force in the X-Location , Y-Location , and Z-Location boxes.

6. Under Force, do the following:

1. Set Units to the desired unit of force.

2. Click the force components that you want to specify and type in their values.

7. Select Moment, then do the following:

1. Set Units to the desired unit of moment.

2. Click the moment components that you want to specify and type in their values.

8. Click  .

1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click the External Loads icon an select Remote Load/Mass .

2. Under Type, select Load/Mass (Rigid connection).

3. In the graphics area, select the faces, edges, or vertices to which you want to apply the remote mass. For nonlinear studies, you can select only faces to apply remote mass.

4. Set the Reference Coordinate System to Global (default global), or User defined. For User defined, click inside Select a Coordinate System , then select a coordinate system from the flyout FeatureManager tree.

5. Under Location, do the following:

1. Select the desired Unit for length .

2. Type the coordinates of the Center of Gravity (CG) of the remote mass in the X-Location , Y-Location , and Z-Location boxes.

6. Under Force, do the following:

1. Set Units to the desired unit of force.

2. Click the force components that you want to apply to the mass CG, and type in their values.

7. Select Moment, then do the following:

1. Set Units to the desired unit of moment.

2. Click the moment components that you want to apply to the mass CG, and type in their values.

8. Select Mass, then do the following:

1. Set Unit to the desired unit of mass.

2. Type the mass value in the Remote Mass box .

3. Type the moments of inertia with respect to axes X , Y , Z, and the products of inertia with respect to axes XY , YZ , XZ in the respective boxes.

The mass moments of inertia should be calculated with respect to a coordinate system that is centered at the CG, and has X-Y-Z axes parallel to the X-Y-Z axes of the global, or user defined coordinate system.
