Reply To: Question about boundary conditions in Ansys Mechanical

Thanks for the confirmation.
My impression of your initial post was that you applied the load as a "point load" which is generally not recommended. You can apply the force over an edge which is better than a point load but it is usually recommended to apply forces over a cross sectional area. You can watch the video below where this topic is discussed in more detail.
