      Hi


      how to perform uniform distributed load test in ANSYS mechanical.


      i have tried using pressure but when i was selected the face it performing point loading.

      Hi UDL is related to Beam.
      For 3D model, it has to be applied as Force on Face only.
      The graphics will be shown as pointed.
      You can confirm the same by reaction after solving.

      Make sure the setup is symmetric at an imaginary plane along geometry normal.
      From the imaginary symmetric plane ,the mesh count should be same on both sides.


      Prefer uniform Hex only mesh.

      Hello everyone, nI am trying to apply a Uniformly Distributed Load on an edge, could anyone please let me know which is the right command to use?nBecause, when a Force or Line pressure is applied, the results are obtained as a point load.nIt would be really helpful if anyone could help me out.n
