How to "fix" points in Shape Generator

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm a newbie when it comes to Inventor skills, and I'm doing a research project that involves optmizing a rectangular solid into a specific part using the Shape Generator included in the program, the way I need it to be is represented in the picture below, a force F is applied in the left-most side of the solid, and the stress goes through the gray path, not directly diagonal as it would do without restraints. My question is: how can I "route" the force so it could go by the given path?

Thanks in advance, and please bear in mind that I'm still a beginner.

Hi! This is a very interesting problem. But, I don't quite get what you meant by the force acting on the side and the stress spreading along the path. I just cannot visualize it. Do you already have a part? Maybe you can create channel-like 2D sketch. Then split the face using the sketch. Then you can apply pressure load? I am sorry I am a bit confused.

Many thanks!

You can't "route" or bend a force, it's not like "hydraulic" pressure that you can push through a hose or line around bends.
