Moment load in Mechanica
Moment load in Mechanica
(OP)
Hello,
When I apply a moment load in Mechanica to the end of a 3d solid model of a cylindrical shaft, I get the error message "The moment component of a specified load will have no effect
because the surface to which it is applied is not associated
with any shells". But, that error message doesn't tell me how to correct the problem.

In the Force/Moment dialog box, click the advanced button. Choose the drop down under Distribution and choose "total load at point". Then selcect the center point about which the moment load will act.
Good luck,
Steve

Thank you for your quick and extremely helpful response. It worked like a charm!

Thanks!

Is the csys that is references for the torque loading a cylindrical or spherical? If so, try to create a cartesian csys in the same location with one of the axes (x, y, or z) parallel to the Z axis on the cylindrical.
