OLOAD

Hi 

 

I am running a quasistatic nonlinear analysis with RFORCE applied and OLOAD s activated as i need to know the load applied due to centrifugal force .

But the output(applied force) i am getting is not at all expected. 

I wanted know the total force acting on the body at the center of gravity instead of at the elements separately . how to do that.

(Just to confirm, i am using tons and mm as my units so i must get forces in N, right ?).

    If you want to apply the loading on specific element set, you can use IDRF option on RFORCE. Otherwise, the loading would apply to the entire model (all the grids as Gi).
