Hi,
I'm modelling a circular beam as shown in the figure below.
I'm trying to apply a radially distributed load (aka "normal" traction) on an INTERNAL edge (at r=2) of units Force/Distance. I can't apply a shell edge load since this edge is internal. When I apply a Pressure load, I get an error:
***ERROR: SURFACE ASSEMBLY__PICKEDSURF30 INCLUDES EDGES. EXCEPT FOR SHELL EDGE LOADING, SURFACES WHICH INCLUDE EDGES CANNOT BE USED WITH *DSLOAD, *DSFLUX, *SFILM, *SRADIATE, *DSFLOW, *SFLOW, *DSECHARGE, *DSECURRENT, *SIMPEDANCE OR *INCIDENT WAVE.
I can't apply a centrifugal load since it acts on each material point and I want the load to act only along that edge.
Any help would be much appreciated!
