Simulation Toolbar - Fixtures/External Loads

The Fixtures/External Loads category provides tools related to fixtures and loads. The functions of all buttons in this category are listed in the table below.

Button

Tool Tip

Purpose

Fixtures

Defines a fixture on the selected entities for the active structural study (static, frequency, buckling, or nonlinear study).

Pressure

Defines a pressure on the selected entities for the active structural study (static, frequency, buckling, or nonlinear study).

Force

Defines a force, torque, or moment on the selected entities for the active structural study (static, frequency, buckling, or nonlinear study). The specified value is applied to each selected entity.

Gravity

Defines gravity loading for the active structural study (static, frequency, or buckling).

Centrifugal Force

Defines centrifugal forces (angular velocity/acceleration) for the active structural study (static, frequency, buckling, or nonlinear study).

Remote Load/Mass

Defines remote load/mass on a set of faces with respect to a coordinate system for the active structural study.

Rigid Connection

Defines connectors on set of faces with respect to another set of faces from different components for the active structural study.

Bearing Load

Defines bearing load on set of cylindrical faces with respect to a coordinate system for the active structural study.

Temperature

Defines a temperature on the selected entities for the active study.
