Concentrated force

[futura22]

Does anyone know the unit of concentrated force? Is it force per unit length?

Thanx

My guess is it's force

If it's a plane strain model then it's F/L. Otherwise its just F. Hope this helps.

Plane strain is assumed to be for a unit length, so it's just force/1 or force.

corus,
I do understand your point but it depends on the units that you are using it could be N/M or N/mm.

how about using a curve shell. Is it still be force or force per unit length?

 

[rstupplebeen]

Plane stress will be simply a force.

The units of m or mm don't come into the equation as Abaqus doesn't use units. It's simply force per unit length or force per 'your' unit for plane strain, or, numerically, force.
