Use the Load on Geom panel to map loads or boundary conditions from geometrical entities (loads on geometry) to the associated FE mesh entities (loads on mesh).

More than one mesh can be associated with the geometric entity to which the loads are applied.  The loads are mapped to all the meshes associated with the geometrical entities to which they are applied.

The loadcols selection box lists a group of load collectors that contain the loads on geometry to be mapped.  Once a load collector is selected, click map loads to perform the mapping.

 

Subpanels and Inputs


The Load on Geom panel is extremely simple; there are no subpanels, only a single panel consisting of a single loadcols selector plus command buttons.

 

Panel Input

Input

Action

loadcols

Use the  selector to pick the desired loads to map.

 

Command Buttons

The following action buttons appear:

Button

Action

map loads

Map the loads from the geometry to the mesh entities associated with the geometry.

reject

Undo a mapping.  Click reject before exiting the panel; once you exit the panel the changes become permanent.

return

Exit the panel.
