Hi there seems to be something with the UI in vers. 2021 R2, and this might be defect (thanks for brining it to our attention – it will hopefully be fixed in the next upcoming releases).<\/p>\n
Use input files and commands straight away (most of the apdl use is not via the ui, only command inputs – actually there are some things we can not do with the UI, and can only be used via command inputs).<\/p>\n
So for a nodal force use:
\nF,1,FX,100
\n(explain: !!!! F, NODE NR, Lab, VALUE, VALUE2, NEND, NINC)<\/p>\n
Also see the F command for more info on how to use it.<\/p>\n
There are many tutorial in the help manual showing the input files for simple models that you can go through.<\/p>\n
E.g., verification manual example 3 (VM3).<\/p>\n
So use the command inputs and solve them directly and do not use the UI so much if possible.<\/p>\n
All the best<\/p>\n
