Hi there,

I am analysing a large train side wall as is shown in the picture below and I want to apply a 1.5 MN load on vertical left and right edges. Is it possible to use a MPC to create a smart point to load the sidewall and asses for stress and displacement? Instead to apply the load in every single node

    I think you can create a RBE3 element and apply your load over the dependent node of RBE3.
