      I want to build an RVE model,so I need to apply a load on the periodic boundary.But the system prompts me with an error

      Hi,

      You can either create an identical mesh on both surfaces and then assign those as periodics.

      Please insert periodic symmetry and you can insert a linear periodic condition.

      The answer in the below link best describes your problem on how to apply forces in periodic BC when building RVE.

      Please refer below link for more on periodic boundary condition.

      Thank you
