Lms Virtual-lab. Help!!
(OP)
Hello,
I've been working recently with Lms Virtual-lab structure and have the following problem: I want to define a perpendicular force of all nodes in the inner surface of a hollow cylinder.
The force must be perpendicular to all nodes!
How can i make that?
thanks
glad

Perhaps that is the cause of your problem.

Thank you for your quick response.
I actually was referring to the elements not the nodes! was an error
I have a picture of the cylinder, the force must be defined everywhere perpendicular to the inner surface (red area in picture)
i dont now how i make that in Virtual-lab!!
RE: Lms Virtual-lab. Help!!
You have the dimensions of the cylinder therefore you can write the equation of the cylinder and get the slope equation (dy/dx)....The perpendicular slope is then just the inverse of the slope of the cylinder.....
No idea how to do it in the software....
