Name

Mechanical:ForceDensity:ConstantForceDensity — A constant force, such as gravity, applied throughout the material.

Details

  • Property Category: ForceDensity

  • Parameters:

    gx
    body force density in the x direction Type: A real number.
    gy
    body force density in the y direction Type: A real number.

  • Equations: Force_Balance

Discussion

This Property applies a constant force at all points within the Material. It contributes to the \(f_i\) term in the Force_Balance Equation, Eq. (6.120).
