You should be having the answer by now, still....</p> <p>You can always create a APDL macro in the loading area of menu. I would suggest you to you select the nodes by location for selecting the nodes at that location. </p> <p>e.g</p> <p>nsel,s,loc,....<br /> f,....</p> <p>if your problem is small element size in the area of application you can always give line sizing to the area you apply force.</p> <p>good luck </p> http://www.FEA-Forums.com/topic/29#post-36 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 03:34:42 +0000 valentina 36@http://www.FEA-Forums.com/ <p>Hi, I am making my thesis with ansys workbench,</p> <p>I have used ansys classic in order to modify a design that has been given to me, and then I have imported it in wb.<br /> (This means that in wb I cannot modify the geometry)</p> <p>Now,<br /> on a portion of an element I must apply a force, but only on a part and not on all: how can I do it?</p> <p>I have tried to modify geometry "dividing" the region of interest from the body with ansys, but then, when I execute the mesh, on the edges of this portion I have a mesh too small...<br /> I have been told that in ansys classic the foce can be applied also on the nodes of the mesh,but I have not found no command of the sort in wb.</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> valentina </p>
