I am a new user. In BasicFEA profile of Hyperworks (University version), I am doing a stress-deformation analysis for the Mosquito Coil Stand.

I got model imported via stp (attached) then extracted the midsurface, meshed it. Added surface constraint at the bottom as Fixed. Saved model is attached.

Now wish to apply poiint load, equilavant to Coils weight. Not finding how to do that? Any clues?

    apply mass using 1D>masses (no property required, just create a component and use element type CONM2).

    (Use element size small so that minimum 5 element along the width of every section)

    We strongly recommend using sT inspire (given free for students) for basic FEA,
