i m modeling the structure of a wind turbine.
The external equivalent load is applied at the center of the blade...
If i want to use distributing coupling to transmit this load from this center to the upper surface of the blade, can i define the distributing coupling and the load in the global Coordinate system or should i define them in a cylindrical CS relative to the blade?
Should the application point of the load be the center of gravity of the surface?
Thank u
