Figure 6.5: Steps to create a force entity
| Step | Operation |
| 1st step | Select Force on the ribbon menu as shown in the figure above. |
| 2nd step | Select one of the force entities as shown in the figure above. |
| 3rd step | Follow the prescribed creation steps for each force entity as shown in the table below. |
As shown in the table above, you can create a force entity via several steps. The creation steps for each force entity are shown in the table below. For more information about the definition of each step, refer to the creation page for each force entity.
