Create an FE Load
Ribbon menu → Forces Tab → Special Forces container → Create a FE Load 
or
(Classic) Build → Force → Special Forces → Adams FE Load
This new force type will be launched from the Forces-Special container.
Distributed Load - The distributed force can be applied to the FE Part which can be defined through the expression language or user-written subroutines.
For the option: | Do the following: | |
|---|---|---|
FE Load Name | Enter the name you want assigned to the FE load. | |
FE Part | Specify the FE Part to which the FE Load is applied. | |
Reference Marker | Specifies the marker which determines the orientation of the FE load components. If this option is not present, the load components are relative to the ground origin coordinates. | |
Define Using | Define Using | Enter how you want to define the force. Select: ■Function to define using a numerical value or function expression. ■Subroutine to define using a User-written subroutine. |
X Force/ Y Force/ Z Force/ AX Torque/ AY Torque/ AZ Torque | If you selected Function for Define Using, enter the following for each component of the force: ■Constant force value ■Function expression To enter a function expression, next to the Function (time) text box, select the More button  to display the Function Builder. | |
The Adams Solver functions S, SD, SV, SA can be used to define FE Load functions relative to the position along the length of FE parts that are modelled with the 2D/3D beam formulations. | ||
Force Display | If set to "On" 10 force vectors will be displayed along the length of the FE part centreline. | |
