Supported
|
Details
|
Point
|
Yes
|
Deformation-independent load
|
Curve/Edge
|
Yes
|
Distribution must be Total Load or Total Load at Point. For Total Load distribution, the variation must be Uniform or Interpolated Over Entity.
|
Surface/Face
|
Yes
|
|
Centrifugal
|
Yes
|
|
Gravity
|
Yes
|
Deformation-independent load
|
Pressure
|
Yes
|
Variation must be Uniform or Interpolated Over Entity. The magnitude of the load will remain constant but its direction may change. The direction will always be parallel to the deformed normal.
