hi there it's me again.Does anyone know how to apply the concentrated force along the line surface?ive using the reference point but couldn't due to the NODE SET ASSEMBLY__PICKEDSET31 HAS NOT BEEN DEFINED.Can anyone show me how to convert the point to node.thanks.

hi it's me again. anyone who knows how to to create distribution load at middle face beam(analysis 3 point bending)and also how to converts point to nodes in abaqus?
 
As far as I know if there is a point in the solid model there will be a node there. Please don't take offense but is there a mesh on the solid body? If you post your CAE or INP files we can help more. I hope this helps.

the problem is i need to apply the concentrated load to the beam surface along the line between the midway point. i have already used the reference point to apply the concentrated load distribution but couldn't due to the NODE SET ASSEMBLY__PICKEDSET31 HAS NOT BEEN DEFINED.
 
I'm not sure why you use reference points as these are generally for rigid bodies or generalised plane strain models. There is an option to apply a line load in the load module of CAE. Partition the geometry to form a line first.

hi
u should supress RP then select a point(for example a partioned point) under RP. rhen resume the RP.
