Reply To: Specifying the body force density in an element (FORC) at the corner nodes.

[mxp220121]

Hello Ashish,

Thanks for the link, but I already reffered to all the documentation, in the documentation it is mentioned that values at all the corner nodes of the brick element can be specified, I wanted to know if it's possible, and if yes then how to input the eight values at eight nodes based on their position in the cartesian coordinate system.
As of now, I loop over each element in the domain and while looping I specify the centroid's x,y and z in the analytical field equation for body force through the BFE,FORC, command, I wanted to know if I can do the same but instead of using the centroid's x,y and z in the equation using the 8 corner nodes' x,y and z using a table. If that's not possibl then I will continue using the centroid's location.

Thanks for your assist!

Regards,

Monish.
