Concentrated force

Concentrated force

Concentrated force

(OP)
Does anyone know the unit of concentrated force? Is it force per unit length?

Thanx

RE: Concentrated force

My guess is it's force

RE: Concentrated force

If it's a plane strain model then it's F/L.  Otherwise its just F.  Hope this helps.

RE: Concentrated force

Plane strain is assumed to be for a unit length, so it's just force/1 or force.

RE: Concentrated force

corus,
I do understand your point but it depends on the units that you are using it could be N/M or N/mm.

RE: Concentrated force

(OP)
how about using a curve shell. Is it still be force or force per unit length?

RE: Concentrated force

Plane stress will be simply a force.

RE: Concentrated force

The units of m or mm don't come into the equation as Abaqus doesn't use units. It's simply force per unit length or force per 'your' unit for plane strain, or, numerically, force.
