Problem to generate graphic TF/CF Vs U2.

[Nicolas R.]

Hi,

I need to see the behavior of one beam through the graphic Load VS Displacement ( in my model U2) I can create it if I don’t apply the load just like a concentred force in a point, but I’m thinking that maybe this can create some problems because in my visualization I see the point load fix in the deformed form, I don’t know.
Someone can help me about how I can apply the load in a surface just like a pressure but that I can plot the displacement and concentred force our total force in one point?

Thanks.

A pressure is a distribution of forces onto multiple nodes. There is no output variable that sums that up automatically. You can only view you current pressure load when requesting and visualizing field output variable P.
