    Hi Skaos,

     

    A concentrated load defines a concentrated force applied to each node of a prescribed nodal group. The load is applied to the nodes indirectly by means of a nodal group.
    The load versus time function is also defined to apply the cload.

    Hi Skaos,

    The force is applied to each node individually, so: total force = F(t) * number of nodes.
