Uniform load across small portion of surface

Phil Perlich Jun 22, 2012 10:03 AM

I have a large flat surface that I want to apply a uniform-distributed load across only a portion of the surface. How do I do that? I have only been able to apply the uniform loading across the entire surface.

Phil - Create a new face on the flat surface using SplitLine feature then apply your load to the newly-created face.

    Any time...
    
    Beware the SplitLine stress concentration effect - you're creating a very sudden transition that will most-probably give you results that need careful consideration.
