    Applying a load to a datum point using findAt

    Hello, I am studying tree branches with Abaqus and my model is a wire connected by 3D datum points. To represent leaves, a concentrated force is applied to that point on the branch, which is an x,y,z coordinate that already exists in the model. Modeling these tree branches is very time...
