Hey everyone,
I have made a supporting strucutre which comprises of different I-beams in SolidWorks. I am wondering how can I apply seismic load to that structure.
Thanks for help

Hi Sandeep,
See, I never told abt Face Selection. Its only Plane Selection.(Right/Front). See, when we stand on earth, there is gravity force that is pulling us downwards. Its not that gravity force is acting on our foot. Suppose we have a Solidworks Model of human body. If we restraint the base of the foot, how would you apply gravity? Which Face? or Which Part?
The gravity is acting on the body at CG(Center of Gravity) or Center of mass. So, we need to select the respective planes for horizontal or vertical gravity.
as an example, take the case of a pyramid with base fixed. Check the direction of plane on the screen shot
If you have 3g, just add gravity 3 times
Please correct me someone if I am wrong
