17.6.7.2.6. Imported Cut Boundary Remote Force

The Imported Cut Boundary Remote Force object applies forces and moments from beam-based coarse models to shell or solid submodels. Each remote force and moment pair share a remote point that is by default, deformable.

The remote loads generated for this option are, by default, read-only. You can modify the properties of boundary condition by setting the Read Only property to Off.

Requirements

Note the following requirements:

  • In order to add beam forces to the results file and make them available for your submodel, you need to set the Nodal Forces property (Analysis Settings>Output Controls) to On in the coarse model.

  • If your submodel includes only forces and moments and has no other constraints, you must set the Weak Springs property (Analysis Settings>Solver Settings) to On.

For additional information about the supported source (coarse) and target (submodel) systems as well as the specific steps to transfer data, see the Imported Boundary Conditions section.
