Chapter 2: Loading<br />

2.5.7.6. Using Surface Effect Elements to Apply Loads<br />

Occasionally, you may need to apply a surface load that the element type you are using does not accept.<br />

For example, you may need to apply uniform tangential (or any non-normal or directed) pressures on<br />

structural solid elements, radiation specifications on thermal solid elements, etc. In such cases, you can<br />

overlay the surface where you want to apply the load with surface effect elements and use them as a "conduit"<br />

to apply the desired loads. Currently, the following surface effect elements are available: SURF151 and<br />

SURF153 for 2-D models and SURF152, SURF154, SURF156, and SURF159 for 3-D models.<br />

2.5.8. Applying Body Loads<br />

Table 2.7: Body Loads Available in Each Discipline (p. 40) shows all body loads available in each discipline and<br />

their corresponding ANSYS labels. The commands to apply, list, and delete body loads are shown in<br />

Table 2.8: Commands for Applying Body Loads (p. 40). You can apply them at nodes, elements, keypoints,<br />

lines, areas, and volumes.<br />
