multiple loads on rigid body

[yanger11]

How do I assign multiple concentrated loads at different locations on a rigid body? I can assign a sinlge load at a reference point but iwant to apply multiple loads.

You can't. You can only assign loads/moments at the reference point of the rigid body, not at different locations. If you want multiple loads acting in the same direction then add them together or combine multiple loads as a resultant load and moment.

You can define a Rigid Body type constraint in the Interaction Abaqus/CAE by selecting regions of a deformable part. These regions will be constraint to a reference point. However, you can partition this region and assign concentrated forces at any existing point in the constraint region.
