Hi!<\/p>\n

I would like to know what's the difference between the edge force and surface Force in 2D Analysis.<\/p>\n

I understand that the edge force represents the force in each node of the edge. But in the case of the surface force is not clear to me if this force represents the resultant force of the whole surface in each node of the edge, or the resultant force in the midpoint of the surface and is representated in the nodes of the edge, or something else.<\/p>\n

I mean, if its the resultant of the surface's midpoint, this means that if we divide the value of the force by the length of the object this will give us the same value of the edge force right?<\/p>\n

At the same time, what will be the difference between surface force and volume force in 3D Analysis?<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-162840","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-2d-analysis","topic-tag-edge-force-2","topic-tag-surface-force-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
