i have a point where load is applied and i have to transmit it to two surfaces: front and rear surface

however, the front surface takes loading along the three axis (x, y, z) whereas the rear surface takes loading in one direction (x)

how can i do it?

Hi, I hope I can help?

When you say point, do you mean concertrated point? How is it loaded in reality? Can you include a rigid body in the model and use this to transmit the loads?
 
Yes
when i say point, i mean a concentrated point...and loading is applied along the three directions..

However, the loading should be transmitted from this point to front and rear arms of a body...
And each arm takes a different component

the rear arms take only axial loading
the forward take loading along 3 directions
thank you
