BFTRAN

BFTRAN
Transfers solid model body-force loads to the finite element model.

Valid Products: Pro | Premium | Enterprise | PrepPost | Solver | AS add-on

Notes

Body loads are transferred from selected keypoints and lines to selected nodes and from selected areas and volumes to selected elements. The BFTRAN operation is also done if the SBCTRAN command is either explicitly issued or automatically issued upon initiation of the solution calculations (SOLVE).

This command is also valid in PREP7.
