Point Force

A force acting at a point. With faces wired, the force and the moment of its lever arm are spread over those faces (Distributed transfer); without faces it acts at the point itself.

Inputs

Point Point

Where the force acts (default origin). With faces wired, the point its lever arm is measured from.

Takes: any block that gives Point (13 blocks)
Faces Face Set

Optional faces that take the force, from Faces in Solid. Unwired: the force acts at the point.

Takes: Faces in Solid
Force Vector

Force vector in N (default zero).

Transfer Choice

How the load reaches the faces: Distributed (the default) spreads it over them without stiffening them; Rigid would also lock the faces to the point, which is not solved yet and is refused when faces are wired.

Frame Frame

Optional frame whose axes the vector's components are given in. Unwired: the global X, Y and Z axes.

Takes: Curve Frame, Frame, Offset Plane, Point-Normal Plane

Output

Boundary Condition

Used by: Reaction Force

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

Position Point

The point this load or Support is attached to.
