Options

• :STUDY - specifies the associated study for the edge force.
• :NAME - specifies a name for the edge force to apply.
• :REF_ELEM - specifies the edge element on which to apply the force.
• :VALUE - specifies a force value per unit length to be applied on the edge.
• :COORD1 - sets the force value on the edge along the first axis.
• :COORD2 - sets the force value on the edge along the second axis.
• :COORD3 - sets the force value on the edge along the third axis.
• :TOTAL_VALUE - specifies a total force value to be applied along the edge.
• :DIRECTION - enables specification of the direction of the force.
• :DA_COORD_SYSTEM - enables specification of the referential coordinate system.
• :GLOBAL - selects the global coordinate system.
• :LOCAL - selects a local coordinate system.
• :CYLINDRICAL - selects a cylindrical coordinate system.
• :SEL_CS - specifies the reference workplane for the local and cylindrical coordinate systems.
• :NEXT - accepts the specifications you have defined for the force and allows you to define the next force on an edge.
