force in spcd
Altair Employeehi,
when we give load in spcd as 25 N for about a set of 25 points.will it act as distributed load or as point load of 25 N for each point?
Thanks,
Jahnavi

I think that each node of yoyr set will be charged 25N (to test !!!)
If you wan distribute the load overs the all nodes of the set, use RBE3 element.

I'm doing this in frequency response analysis then how can i use rbe3?

Connect the nodes on which you want to apply the load and connect those with a dependent node via RBE3 and apply the load on this independent node.

hi,
thankyou. so if i want to apply a load of 25 N then can i select the nodes as a set and divide 25 N by no of nodes in that set and give that value in spcd to apply a load of 25 N as a whole??

I am sorry I did not understand your modelling approach,
How are you apply FORCE through SPCD?
SPCD defines enforced displacement, Vel or acceleration.

i want to to force analysis of a standing human body standing on a bus so i can't restrict that with spcs so i want to give force only in dof3 direction? how should i do that
in spcd there is a option of load also in type so i thought of doing that

Instead you can use FORCE as it is.
One of the following maybe correct when you are using SPCD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
