Hoy to apply load on node?
Dear All,
How to apply load on node/ intersection mesh? See picture above.
Thanks,

Re: Hoy to apply load on node?
You can port the model to GeoSTAR if you have Simulation Premium, and you can directly apply loads at a nodal point while in GeoSTAR. Another method works in the SolidWorks interface: draw sketch lines on the face such that the end point of the sketch lines terminate at the coordinate location you want. Then, execute "insert>curve>split line" to split the face with the lines. After you mesh, the meshing algorithm will locate a node at the apex and nodes will be located along the split lines (usually), as evidenced by the appearance of the mesh. -good luck.

Dear Anthony,
Thank for your reply,
Can you explained more detail to port the model to GeoSTAR?

Re: Hoy to apply load on node?
In the past there was an export option while in SolidWorks Simulation. It might still be there on the Simulation Menu - in any case if you can locate that option, you can save the model geometry and mesh as a "*.geo" file. Then, launch the GeoSTAR interface. It's in the "COSMOSM Tools" folder, under the SolidWorks folder - there are GeoSTAR interface launchers. Once in GeoSTAR, you can "read" the "*.geo" file, but I cannot recall the menu or command to do that - you'd have to hunt around for it. Hope that helps.
