Moment Load—Creo Ansys Simulation
You can create moment loads on surfaces in your model.
To Define a Moment Load
1. Within a structural simulation study, click > 
Moment. The Moment Load dialog box opens.
Moment. The Moment Load dialog box opens.2. Specify a name for the load, or use the default name. Optionally click the color swatch adjacent to the Name box to change the color of the icon, the distribution, or the text displayed for the load.
3. Select a surface to which you want to apply the moment load. Your selection appears in the References collector.
4. The default coordinate system of the model is the reference coordinate system and is displayed in the Coordinate system collector. In the case of an assembly, the coordinate system of the top level assembly is the default coordinate system. If the model does not have a default coordinate system then the Coordinate system collector is empty.
You can select an alternative reference coordinate system from the Model Tree or Graphics Window.

◦ Magnitude and direction—Select one of the following Direction by options to define the direction of the load:
▪ Direction Vector—Specify the value of the unit vectors for direction by typing a value of 0, 1, or -1 in the X, Y, or Z field.
▪ Reference—Select a planar surface or a linear edge. The direction of the load mimics the direction of the reference.
Specify the magnitude of the load in the Magnitude entry box.
◦ Directional components—Specify the components of the load for each coordinate direction X, Y, or Z. The resultant direction and magnitude of the load is determined from the values you specify for each coordinate. If you enter a positive value the load component is applied in the same direction as the coordinate system axis. If you use a negative value, the direction of the load opposes the coordinate system axis.
6. Select units of moment from the list or accept the default units.
7. Click OK to create and save the moment load.
