6.9. Concentrated Load

A Concentrated Load represents six component forces and torques acting on a node. Nodeset must be specified to create the force. A Concentrated Load calculates its force and torque based on a user-specified Function Expression or User Subroutine. The action force and torque are applied to the nodes and the reaction force and torque are zero. The directions of force and torque can be defined in either of the rectangular or cylindrical types. The torque is available for beam and shell elements and ignored for the solid elements.
