How to add tension force to a plate in Patran?
(OP)
Hi, I want to give some analysis on the tension-ed plate. The tension value is 3000 N/M.
Could someone tell me how to add this load in Patran? Since there are a lot of choice: force, total load, distributed load, CID distributed load,inital load etc.
Thanks in advance!

RE: How to add tension force to a plate in Patran?
i usually work out the total load to be applied and then use total load option.
the load is ofcourse force/unit area(pressure) x area or force/length x length
since most of my work involves applying certain magnitude forces rather than actual pressures
always check the oload in F06 file
