geometrical entities

A point, a line, or a surface.

loads on geometry or geometry loads

Loads applied to geometrical entities.

loads on mesh or mesh loads

Loads applied to mesh (nodes or element).

Loads can be applied directly to mesh or applied by mapping them from loads on geometry.

load mapping

The process of mapping geometrical loads to mesh loads. The loads are mapped from the geometrical entities (to which the geometrical loads are applied) to the mesh that is associated with the geometrical entities.
