However, if I apply a distributed load on a face, i won&#039;t expect the same thing. Why is that? Since as far as I know, if I choose a face and apply a load there, the load is transferred to each of the nodes those are a part of that face. That essentially means that each node has an external load applied to it. Why is this case different than if I just choose a single node and apply a load on it? Why would the former won&#039;t cause singularity but the latter will?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, if I think about it, each node of the model of FEA will actually have an internal load associated with it. So how is that not causing a singularity but applying a concentrated external load on a node is?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-159614","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-stress-singularity"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["587"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["254588"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["159614"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["58821","180472"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["182624"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["182624"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-06-18 15:01:09"]},"test":"rameez_ul_haq"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/159614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/159614\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
