🟩 FEA Friday- Loads

Loads

Loads represent concentrated or distributed tractions applied to a model by an external source

Below is the list of all the Loads Available in the Linear Structural Validation app.

Applied Translations

An applied translation prescribes motion in a single direction by a specified distance.

Bearing Loads

A bearing load mimics the distributed force of an imaginary cylindrical part pressing on an opposing cylindrical surface.

Centrifugal Forces

A centrifugal force is an apparent force arising from a body's inertia. When a body is in rotation about an axis at a constant velocity, the centrifugal force acts on the body, pulling it outward from the center.

Film Conditions

A film condition defines heating or cooling due to the convection by surrounding fluids.

Forces

A force is a translational load applied in a single direction across an area.

Gravity

Gravity is a linear force that acts uniformly on all bodies in a model.

Heat Flux

Heat flux defines a flow of heat into or out of a surface on your model.

Pressures

A pressure is a distributed load applied normal to a surface.

Radiation to Ambient

Radiation describes heat transfer to a nonreflecting environment due to radiation.

Remote Forces

A remote force is a translational load applied in a single direction. The force might be applied in one location (potentially not on the model) and transmitted to a different location on the model.

Remote Torques

A remote torque is a twisting or rotational force, also called a moment.

Click here👈 to learn, how to define Remote Torques in the Linear Structural Validation app.

Volumetric Heat Sources

A volumetric heat source is a distributed heat flux that models heat energy transfer into or out of one or more 3D bodies.
