Force on Keypoint
Force on Keypoint
(OP)
I'm trying to transfer a force, which is applied to a keypoint, to a FE model in ANSYS. Everytime I try to do so, I get a message saying "Force at unmeshed keypoint not transferred." Does anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks.
Thanks.





RE: Force on Keypoint
You can:
put your load on the nodes,
-or-
mesh your keypoint and merge nodes,
RE: Force on Keypoint
Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to get away from applying the load to nodes, as I wish to undertake a mesh study and therefore each time the "node" position will change.
Therefore to expand on your second comment...at the moment I am meshing areas, within which the keypoint is located. Do I need to mesh keypoints independently of areas?
Does it matter than I'm using SHELL99 elements?
Thanks.
