Can anyone answer the following... What is the effect of the radius/thickness ratio on the results when modelling with SHELL99 elements?

Hi sinantufekcioglu Thanks for your reply. I know roughly the force that I want to apply and can add a line for it to be applied on easily enough. Is it just a case of dividing the force by the length of the line instead of the area? Thanks.

Hi Struct71 Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to get away from applying the load to nodes, as I wish to undertake a mesh study and therefore each time the "node" position will change. Therefore to expand on your second comment...at the moment I am meshing areas, within which the keypoint is...

I'm trying to transfer a force, which is applied to a keypoint, to a FE model in ANSYS. Everytime I try to do so, I get a message saying "Force at unmeshed keypoint not transferred." Does anyone know why this is the case? Thanks.

Hi All Please can someone help with the following... I am conducting a FE analysis of a wind turbine blade and require some help in how to apply a load. The link below shows the blade geometry and where I would like to insert the load...
