- Loads
- Forces are specified per object (volume) and distributed evenly over this object.
- For a surface load, the active surface with thickness 0 must be loaded as a separate object (.STL file).
- If only a single force is to act as a point load, a separate (very small) volume must be generated for this. Here it should be pointed out that an idealized point load in reality always corresponds more to an area/volume load!
- Fixations
- Displacements can be locked in the x, y and z directions.
- The activation of all displacement restrictions corresponds to a fixed fixation.
- A floating bearing can be created by selecting only one or two displacement restriction(s).
- For optimization, each direction must be locked (activated) at least once on any object, so that no rigid-body movement can occur. (Exception when using symmetry, see below).
- Moments
- Moments also affect entire objects and can be defined in x, y and z directions. The right hand rule can be used to imagine the direction of rotation.
