Go to the boundary conditions tab to enter the loads and fixations as follows. For each boundary condition a name, a space and the specification of the boundary condition is entered as follows:
| Name | Object | Direction | Value in N |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force | Bridgestreet1 | y | 4000 |
- Object "Bridgestreet1" experiences a force of 4000 N in y-direction (Load). The force of the whole bridge is 16.000 N. If you are using the symmetry option, the force must be adjusted to the calculation model. If only a quarter of the component is calculated (symmetry along the x and z axis), the force must also be quartered. The example already considers this restriction.
| Name | Object | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation1 | Bridgepillar11 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation2 | Bridgepillar21 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation3 | Bridgepillar31 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation4 | Bridgepillar41 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 1 force and 4 fixations should have been created as a result.
