Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

If we don't give the force a direction, it will be normal to the selected face,

making the force radial to the cylindrical surface.

In our example, we are adding the force to one face only, and the "Per Item"

option is the only option available. If two or more faces are selected, we can

define if the force added is the total force applied to all faces (Total) or if it

is applied to each face (Per Item). Pay attention when selecting multiple faces, as

the force applied could be a fraction of the intended load, or multiple times more.

34.8. -The "Force-1" condition is added to the SimulationXpress study where

"Loads" shows a green checkmark letting us know this step's minimum

requirement (1 force or pressure) has been met.

If more forces or pressures are needed, they can be added using "Add a

Force" or "Add a Pressure" as required, or we can edit an existing load. Click Next
