Hello,

I want to add a moment in an analysis, but when I press in "Force/Moment", it let me just add Forces. How could I add a Moment to my assembly?

Best regards,

Edna

First define a datum point at the location that you want the moment load to rotate about. Then in the Force/Moment window you'll see a button called "Advanced>>", click that and then open the pull-down called, "Distribution" and change it from, "Total Load" to, "Total Load at Point" and then select the datum point you previously defined.
