sinusoidal bearing load distribution normal to the surface

Altair Forum User

Good afternoon,

Does anybody know how to apply a sinusoidal equation load to a set of nodes.

I have also tried to add the panel - userpage.mac

// User Page Macro Definitions

*createbutton(5, 'Field Loads... ', 0, 0, 10, BUTTON, 'Create load by equations.', 'tcl_script', 'mathbc.tcl')

I typed for example 1000*sin(y) and I don't see a sinusoidal distribution normal to the surface

I am trying to apply a bearing load.

Regards,

Harry Tempelman

works for me, have you given a proper vector?

Even I am also facing the same issue, I wants to apply a sinusoidal bearing load on a particular set of nodes.

How can I apply?

Hi Jodha,

Have you tried with Equation in Force panel?

Altair Forum User

Yes I have, I given an equation -Cos (y) +1 force distribution is correct.

But I to distribute 20kN to particular nodes.

How is it possible?

Hi everyone,

This is what I have done for my sinusoidal loading equation, but how can I consider the magnitude of 20KN in this equation?

My equation is -cos (y)+1

Help me please...........

Help me please...........

type in as 20000*(-cos(y)+1)
