We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Try applying a Bearing Load to a cylindrical face on the geometry. A Bearing Load creates a force on the nodes where the maximum force is at 0 degrees and zero force is at 90 degrees on either side and the distribution of force is sinusoidal.

There is a related constraint called a Compression only Support. See this discussion.
