Force applied at angle

[Yashasvi23481]

Hi All,

     I want to assert force at angle of 10 deg to 90 deg at increment of 10 deg. I am standing at centre of room and have walls on both sides. starting from left which is 0 deg to straight which is 90 deg I want to check the feasibility and calculate deformation. Walls are upright and parallel only I move at 10 deg. 

              How can I work out forces in FEA ? FEA has option either perpendicular (Normal to face) or vector in X, Y or Z only.  Is there a way to work out vector force at angle ? I have velocity and distances just need angular forces. See pdf attached for clarity. 

Regards,

Yash

Inventor will calculate the vector components of a force for you.

Simply sketch the vector and then select it when placing the Force.

That's excellent JD,

    You are a legend. Force will be on opposite side which I can flip the direction. Now I can work out angles and forces on each face at angle.

Hi JD,

    Based on angle and forces can we run parametric simulation then? I have raised separate query for that though.

Yes, but it would be easier to set up if you make the room circular.

Hi JD,

Yup. But the room is rectangular. Consistency is Force and distance vs angle. angle is continuous increment of 10 deg.
