Appendix B
<Mechanical> Quick Reference
[4] Geometry.
[5] <Graph>.
2
[5] The boxed items are consistent unit systems, including SI.
[6] Details of the unit system Metric (tonne, mm, s, oC, mA, N, mV).
[7] <Mechanical> allows you to change the unit system any time, as frequent as you wish, using the pull-down menu <Units>.

[2] Loads.
[3] Supports.
B-6 Loads5
Pressure
Applies on 2D edges or 3D faces. It is possible to dene a spatial varying pressure6.
Force
Applies on vertices, edges, or faces. If applied on edges/faces, the force is evenly distributed on the edges/forces.
Thermal Condition
Applies on bodies. The temperature change T is the difference between specied temperature and the reference temperature, which is part of information of the material properties, default to 22oC.
Bearing Load
Applies on 2D circular edges or 3D cylindrical faces. The total force is distributed on the compressive side of the circular edges or cylindrical faces.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Applies on 2D edges or 3D faces. It simulates pressure that occurs due to uid weight. A free surface location may be specied, default to the surface at X = 0.
Moment
Applies on 2D edges or 3D faces. A statically equivalent pressure distributed on the edges/faces are calculated and applied on the edges/faces.
Remote Force
Applies at a location anywhere in the space. Workbench calculates the equivalent moment and force and applies them on the body. It may be used as an alternative to building a rigid part and applying a force to it.
Joint Load
Applies on a <Joint>7. You use a joint load to apply a kinematic driving condition in a multi-body dynamic simulation.
B-7 Supports8
Fixed Support
Applies on vertices, edges, or faces. Prevents nodes from moving in X- Y- and Z-directions. Note that, it doesn't prevent nodes from rotations for beam/shell elements.
Displacement
Applies on vertices, edges, or faces. Displacements on X- Y- and Z-directions can be specied. A zero value prevents nodes from moving in that direction. An unspecied value set that direction free.
Frictionless Support
Applies on 2D edges or 3D faces. Prevents nodes from moving in the normal direction; allows nodes to freely move in the tangential direction.
6
Cylindrical Support
Applies on 2D circular edges or 3D cylindrical faces. Each of radial, tangential, and axial (3D only) directions can be set free or xed.
Elastic Support
Applies on 2D edges or 3D faces. A foundation stiffness must be specied to establish the relation between the reaction pressure and the support displacement.
Remote Displacement
Applies at a location anywhere in the space. Workbench calculates the equivalent displacement and rotation and applies them on the body. It may be used as an alternative to building a rigid part and applying a displacement to it.
B-8 Inertial5
Standard Earth Gravity
Applies on bodies. You must select a direction along which the gravitational force applies; it defaults to -Z direction.
Acceleration
Applies on bodies. You must specify the magnitude and direction of acceleration. The direction is where the bodies moves. An "Inertia force" will apply in the opposite direction.
Rotational Velocity
Applies on bodies. You must specify the magnitude and direction of the angular velocity of the bodies. A distributed "inertia force" will apply in the opposite direction of rotation.
Linearized Stress
Using this tool, you can view stresses along a straight line path. You need to rst dene a straight line path using <Construction Geometry> under <Model>. [1] Results toolbar.
Probe10
It contains tools to explore the results of a point, or maximum/minimum values of the results of a scoped region, along the loading history. In other words, we concern about the results across the time domain instead of space domain.
Tools9
It contains special tools: <Stress Tool>, <Fatigue Tool>, <Contact Tool>, and <Beam Tool> [2].
8
[8] Label.
[7] Click to turn on/off the probe. Results values will display along with your mouse pointer; click to label the value. To remove a label, activate <Label> [8] and select the label, then press <Delete> (not <Backspace>).
