Distribution for Load

Creo Simulate > Creo Simulate > Modeling Structure and Thermal Problems > Structure Loads > Force and Moment Loads > Distribution for Load

For edges and surfaces, you can select one of the following options on the Force/Moment Load dialog box for specifying how you want to distribute the load you are creating:

• Total Load

• Force Per Unit Type—Type is either Length, Area, or Volume.

• Total Load At Point

• Total Bearing Load at Point

For points, you can select one of the following options on the Force/Moment Load dialog box:

• Total Load—Distribute the load across all the points you select. In this case, Creo Simulate divides the load you specify by the number of points to determine the load that each point will bear. For example, if you specify a load of 100 pounds and select 4 points, each point will bear a 25 pound load.

• Load Per Point—Apply the load you specify to each of the points you select. In other words, if you specify a load of 100 pounds and select 4 points, each point will bear a 100 pound load.
