Hello,

I have a simply supported composite structure under 4-point bending. I am applying the load using 2 reference points with rigid body constraints for each.
I am using forced displacement and abaqus explicit.

I want to apply the load two both surfaces with one reference point which is not on the model so that the load is applied eccentrically. Is there a way to do that?

I have created a new reference point. Made a rigid body with the two surfaces i want it to act but it is not working!

Any suggestions please?
