Reply To: What’s the difference between the edge force and surface Force in 2D Analysis

[Algodiz]

Dear all, my conclusion is that for 2D analysis it is not recomended to use surface force density as it doesn't provide a trustable value. Thus, for 2D analysis is better to use Edge force density and Total force.
