Hi everybody,
I'm using Ansys for the design of a bike crankshaft and I'm currently revising the mesh.
The model is meshed (till now) entirly with free mesh of solid 185, and i would like to create a node with a fixed position (to later apply a force exactly in that point) and i want the free mesh to adapt to that pre-existing node, including it. I'd like this also to later analyse the effect on the simulation of element size.
I tried in many ways but i still cannot figure out how to do.
I would be grateful to any help.

Regards,
Andrew
