And I want to apply a force to the center of the head. In the scoping method for geometry selection, when I select vertex so I can pick just the point at the center, it is unable to do that selection. So I used a remote force and selected the top face so the force will be applied at the center of that geometry. I don&#8217;t know if doing it that way has the same effect as having a point force at the center.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll like my output to be directional deformation, specifically that at the point where the force is applied but I am unable to select that point still. So my question is how can i select that midpoint so the results I get is the directional deformation at the point were the force is applied? I was able to select a node at the center I don&#8217;t know if that is appropriate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>find below a picture which kind off shows what I&#8217;m talking about. You&#8217;ll see the force&nbsp; acting at the center of the scoped face.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/ed643433-97e9-43a1-b97d-a965010b2b9f\/e34863e1-5202-47ae-b50e-aa61015d8328_remote-force.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-35734","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["7906"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["1443"],"_bbp_subscription":["237138"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["35734"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["897","158976"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["86625"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["86625"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-06-07 16:31:11"]},"test":"goddy"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/35734","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\/35734\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
