Remark" Points have not been selected

Hi,
need some tips for loads.
I want to create 3 Forces for each loading condition. I thought about takeing 3 up to 4 Forces into one Loadcollector. I think this is possible- right?
For these Forces I have Points from External References(see Components) I have chosen a point and it was marked, but I got the message:'Points have not been selected' I don't know what this means to me. The point is in the middle of a bolt but not part of the mesh. Is this the Problem?

An other problem is that one of the three points is not inside the moddel (in reality it is but the needed elements are not at the moddle, because I thought that this would not matter.)Is it possibile to create a vecot to this point wich will be extended to the moddle?

A last question: How is it possible to change the specific loads of one load collector in case I haven't created a card edit?

Hi,

1) yes you can have multiple loads in a single load collector.

2)it is not possible to create force on a free point (which is not associated with any surface). you can create a temporary node at that point and create force. go to Geom page-->Nodes-->on Geometry to create node at a point.

3)you can create a temporary node at that point as said before and can create a vector from that node.

4)You can organize loads in different collectors. go to tool page--> organize--> change the entity type to loads--> dest component to desired load collector and click move.

Thanks and regards
