Offset load

[meeker]

How would I load a hole in a part that would receive a shaft that has an offset load? (i.e. the shaft is 'L' shaped and has a load at the edge of the 'l'.

Thanks much!!

Draw a free body diagram. The sum of forces and moments equals zero.

meeker,

Can you model the shaft through the hole and apply the load to the end of it instead of the hole? If I understand the problem correctly, you are applying a moment perpendicular to the hole. Is that correct?

Thank you, I know how to do a free body diagram; What I am asking is how do I simulate the force developed by a L shaped shaft in a hole. I would like to do it without having assemble the shaft. I know that it is done in the Force/Moment Load window, but I don't remember how, it has been many years) The force is applied parallel to the hole but 6" in front of it (through the shaft).

Thanks
