hello dear Thennavan
you can define RP (Reference Point) or define a set and then apply your load to that point.
hi
it is easy to apply force at nodes. can you explain what is excatly your problem.
i create a cube 150 x 150 mm size using solid C3D8R element and try to applying a concentrated force on nodes at top surface of cube . it showing only 8 node at edge only.. how to apply a force on nodes and can't showing the nodes at anywhwere?
hi
try do the following
1- in assemply, creat a set for and select the node/or nodes you want apply force on it
in the load of step, select the set you creat above and enter thevalue of force in the desired direction
i hope may answer helps you
hello dear Thennavan

we cannot apply load to a reference point since it doesn't have any mass
Either draw your structure in such a way that it actually has points where you want to apply the force.
Or define a mesh-based set (nodeset); this is possible in CAE although I cannot tell you exactly how since I never did it.
Or just write an inp-file and create the nodesets by hand in the inp-file
Hi dear researcher
You can use node based Set. Please define a set and apply the force on that node.
