Applying load per meter cube

Applying load per meter cube

Applying load per meter cube

(OP)
Hi guys,

How do i actually apply load per meter cube on a U shape flat surface? I`m trying to model a platform with 4w x 8d x 1h meter overall dimension, including stair, and i`ve been asked to apply a 200kg/m3 to verify whether the design is adequate. This is my first time being asked to apply a load on such method, and i`m a beginner in solidworks simulation. How should i solve this?

Thanks

RE: Applying load per meter cube

You should solve it by asking your supervisor for clarification. The request makes no sense.

Hi Tick, thanks for replying.
My bad, its actually meter square. I did not realize i was typing the wrong info. The only idea that i could think of is taking the total area of the platform and multiply it by 200kg. It is correct?

RE: Applying load per meter cube

Most FEA programs have a means of applying load by area. I'm certain SW Simulation has this. Remember that load/area = pressure.
