I&#8217;ve got a question regarding load applying in workbench. Below you can find some picture showing my test model. It is simple deck stiffened with flat bars.There is a stiff crate laying on it. The only load is a dead load. <br \/>In this test model i made a contact between box and deck to clearly show what I&#8217;m looking for. It is often that the object which is loading the construction is much stiffer than the construction itself ( some cargo laying on deck or some very heavy maschine ). So after deflection the load is not &#8220;following&#8221; the deformation.<br \/>It is easy to use contact in this test model but if it would be real design with lot of different construction members it is impossible to analyze contact every time.<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/ad4993b5-31d1-41ba-ac6a-ab4d00cc3aa0\/14499d5d-a2de-45be-8021-ab91013f3a04_001.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/ad4993b5-31d1-41ba-ac6a-ab4d00cc3aa0\/90e08364-a357-40e4-aab7-ab91013f4746_002.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m wondering is it possible to delete crate from this model and replace it with distributet load which won&#8217;t follow the deformation &#8211; to properly simulate what is really happening. <br \/>I assume that using force or pressure component is not an answer in this case.
