How to apply Moment to a model in Hypermesh

Altair Forum User

Dear all,

How can I apply moment to a model in hypermesh?

When I apply a force it is clear that after when creating the loadstep I have to assign the created force to 'LOAD' and the constraints to 'SPC'.

But in case I want to create only a moment what should I do? 

And in case I want to create both a force and a moment?

Thank you in advance

Hi Mike,

 

You can assign created MOMENT to LOAD in loadstep panel. 

 

You can add two different loads using LOADADD.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for the reply.

I can not find LOADADD. Where should I look for it?

So I create two LOAD in the loadstep and assign one to the force and the other to the moment correct?

Thank you!!

I found LOADADD on the Card Image. But I do not understand how I should set it and how to connect it to the load case.

 

I create a force and a moment. To which should I assign LOADADD? Just to one or to both?

And then when I create the load step how do I assign both force and moment to LOAD?

 

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! I think I understood it and it seemes to work.

 

So I create the Load and the Moment and a new LoadCollector to which I assign LOADADD and fill it as in the picture you sent me.

But this new load collector (loadcol1 [3] in the picture) has no value (no force or no moment) assigned to it correct? It is just a way to add LOADADD and then connect to it all the loads and moments in the model..??

 

Thanks a lot!!!
