Some type of loading, or a prescribed displacement, is required for static and buckling studies. Loads are optional for frequency studies.
Contents
You can apply uniform or nonuniform (variable) pressure to faces for use in structural (static, frequency, buckling, nonlinear and dynamic) studies.
You can apply forces, moments, or torques with uniform distribution to faces, edges, reference points, vertices and beams in any direction for use in structural studies.
The Gravity PropertyManager applies linear accelerations to a part or assembly document for use in structural and nonlinear analyses.
Use the Centrifugal PropertyManager to apply angular velocity and acceleration to a part or an assembly in static, frequency, buckling, or nonlinear studies.
Remote loads, restraints, and masses can simplify a model.
Bearing loads develop between contacting cylindrical faces or edges of shells.
Shrink fitting is encountered in many engineering designs. It refers to fitting an object into a slightly smaller cavity.
