"Dead" Loads

Advanced Dead loads are forces that are directly prescribed at the nodes of the mesh. The amplitude and direction of such forces is known a priori. In particular it is independent from the deformation of the underlying material.

It is usually a bad idea to define “dead” loads in a model.

To model a loads (pressure and shear) which depends on the deformed configuration, use Pressure and shear.

The command is the same as Prescribed Displacements except that Field1D refers to a force instead of a displacement.
