Applying non-linear forces on edges
Thanks! I ended up using several point loads along the line to approximate it for now, and I'm going to try using a quadratic equation to define the load to improve the results. I'm thinking of adding in another split line so that I have a thin surface along the line of aerodynamic center that...- stults

Applying non-linear forces on edges
Hi everyone, I am trying to run a COSMOSWorks static stress analysis of an aircraft wing with an elliptical lift distribution (greater lift near the root of the wing, and less at the tip). My lift distribution is defined by a 2-D curve, so I am applying the load at the aerodynamic center of the...- stults
