I want to know how to apply a force that stays vertical to a cantilever beam&#039;s free end as it deforms due to that force. I tried setting up a coordinate system at the end of the beam, but I ended up getting the exact same results for both the global and the new coordinate systems, so I&#039;m guessing I&#039;m messing up somewhere. I don&#039;t know if this matters but, the beam is a line body and I&#039;m using large deflections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/YM5FBLTQIX6G\/coordinate-system-details-jpg.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/YM5FBLTQIX6G\/coordinate-system-details-jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Coordinate system details.JPG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-48302","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-cantilever-beam","topic-tag-large-deflections"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["20522"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["ioU\u000f"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2533"],"_bbp_subscription":["255532","285779"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["48302"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","181410","285779"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["286702"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["286702"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-06-01 10:27:17"],"_bbp_notification_enabled":["526654"]},"test":"newtoan"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/48302","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\/48302\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
