Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates for Nonuniform Force and Pressure

The user interface for defining the nonuniform distribution of a force, torque, or pressure supports cylindrical and spherical coordinates.

In the Force/Torque PropertyManager under Nonuniform Distribution, select Cylindrical Coordinate System , or Spherical Coordinate System .

Click Edit Equation to enter the formula which describes the spatial variation of the force applied to the selected entities. You can use a list of basic mathematical functions from the drop-down menu. For example:
Equation for nonuniform force distribution based on cylindrical coordinates (r, t, z): F (r, t, z) = 5 * "r" + sin ("t") + 2 * "z"
Equation for nonuniform force distribution based on spherical coordinates (r, t, p): F (r, t, p) = "r" + 3 * sin ("t") + 2 * cos ("p")
In the equation interface, enter the coordinates inside quotation marks: "r", "t", "p", and "z".
