is it possible to move the point where the stress is acting from the centre of a face, to closer to an edge?

 

An example; if i were to model a beam, which has been fixed to the wall at one end, and show the force given by a weight hanging off the free end - how would i do this? When I apply a load, the load shows as acting on the centre of the face, which in the example, is incorrect.

The usual practice is to Split Face.

 

Attach your *.ipt file here if you can't figure it out.

Thank you for the feedback. I am not quite sure what you mean.....using the split command? I have tried this but got nowhere!

 

I'd appreciate it if you could show me please.

You can make the Split Face feature any size or shape or location desired.
