Can you apply a force to multiple specified points in a simulation?

mmg7229 — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 17:48:50 GMT

I am looking to apply a force at various specific points in a simulation but can't seem to find if this is an option. When apply the load all of the points are random and not where or how I would like the force to be applied. Can this be changed and if so how?

Please attach you model so the Forum users can see where you are trying to apply forces. Also mention where you want them applied. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I added a screen shot. I would like to apply a load at each of these points at the same times so that it is a uniform load, yet it isn't allowing me to.

A screen capture is hardly the same thing as the model. You force me to create a sample model, that is nothing like yours and does not relate exactly to your situation. That being said, take a look at the Screencast to show how to you can isolate areas on your model face to apply loads.

Is this a school assignment?

Split Face.

Hi @mmg7229

There are two ways we can apply force on a point.

Using Force 'Limit Target'
- Note: Make sure to apply force the node, by turning on the mesh
Using Split Face
- Create a point by splitting faces
