Punctual force

This command adds a strain by simulating a punctual force on a rigid group during the dynamic simulations.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select Simulation > Punctual force... command from the drop-down menu.

Select the rigid group on which the force will be applied.
Select the contact point of the punctual force.
Select the type of direction:
- Fixed: The direction chosen does not change based on the rigid group. It is defined based on the absolute frame.
- Joined to the rigid group: The direction chosen changes based on the rigid group. It is defined based on a frame of the rigid group.
Select the direction of the punctual force.
Enter the intensity of the force.

The punctual force may be used with different values in a force driving task.

Modifications / Additional information:

The force may be edited, renamed, deleted, activated or deactivated by using the popup menu in the Forces sub-folder in the Mechanisms folder in the entities tree.
