Remote Points to Apply Forces

I have a question about how to create a remote point in my simulation. Basically, what I need to do is create a point that has an offset x, y, and z relative to one of the holes in my part (a truss that will secure the rear wing of a Formula car). The idea is that aerodynamic forces acting at the car's center of pressure can be applied at this point, allowing us to observe how they will act and influence the structure of the truss. However, I am not sure how to create effective points where forces can be applied. Could someone help me?

    Hi Camili,

    You can use remote load Boundary condition to define the offset point and apply the load at this point.

    Thanks
