Hypermesh - Define oblique forces

Altair Forum User

Hi,

I'm trying to define some forces applied to inclined bolts. 

First of all, I didn't find some setting wich can be usefull to direct forces in different ways from XYZ.

Second point I don't know how to consider an axial force of a cylindrical rod on a nut: the nut (without thread) is part of a solid I'd like to optimize.

How can I resolve this problems?

 

Thanks 

Alberto

You can define a local system. Then the force can be defined in this local system.
