2) Applying a force in to line in selected direction
- In FEM workbench, click on or select Model → Mechanical Constraints → Constraint force to open Force Constraint properties dialog
- If you have Mesh displayed, you need to hide it (select the mesh object and press spacebar or right click and select Hide item) and show the original model.
- Click on a line segment to which a force should be applied. It will appear in the list of geometrical objects.
- Fill in Area load with a force value in [N]
- Direction: Now, with line segment selected, it si likely that the force is applied in a wrong direction. We need to specify the direction by clicking the button Direction and then clicking a face pointing with its normal to the direction of the force (or reversed direction). Again, you can revert the direction of the force by clicking Reverse direction.
