Hello all,

 

Noob here. I need to design an axle that has its wheels locked by brakes. It has two 300 N forces downward on it as I tried in the file, and one torque. Please Help. I have been trying for a long time.

 

Best,

    Hi!

    For placing the forces and supports in the correct location, please click directly on the surface on which the forces are to be applied, the selected surface should become red and a support/force will appear where you click.

    Please do not create an extra 'point' for the application of forces.

     

    Please let me know if you need any further clarification!
