Abaqus - line load on channel beam applied outside of a beam (in shear center)
Abaqus - line load on channel beam applied outside of a beam (in shear center)
(OP)
Hello, everybody. I'm having a problem regarding the application of a line load beyond the contours of a channel tube made out of shell elements. I am trying to perform lateral torsional buckling analysis and the load needs to act in shear center. Does anybody have a solution for this?

You can model that end of your structure with solids, apply your load there as necessary and connect it with shell-to-solid-couplind to your shell structure.
