concentrated force with simulation

[Ste_d]

Good morning, everyone!

Maybe I'll ask a stupid question, but it's been a while since I left with simulation and I can't get over it. my question is: how do I apply a concentrated force on a curved surface? If I select my face, apply my strength to the whole face until he finds a edge! instead I would like to concentrate it only in a small area where I know that the contact happens imagined the end of a cam, up down is what I am doing, I would like to apply the force near the contact end (the tip we say).
I have seen that there is a "divid" tab within the "force" function but I do not understand how to use it and especially it is suitable for purpose.

Thanks :finger:

Hi.
I go to memory
1st solution - bearing load and then think of the fem to distribute where it serves

2nd solution - (largely) build a sketch containing the improte type and then project it (split command) on the surface you have already realized.
in fuznione of materials and loads rods attentive to deformations and results

Good day,

p.s. if you place an image it will be easier to give you a hand!

I confirm the way 2, that is to create a sketch on geometry and make divides. even with the command of force allows you to create a sketch and divide the surface but if you do it first it is better. attentive to the stress and deformation values that focus especially in the small selected area. evaluate the values to be discarded.

Then I press that it is a didactic project, I just need to show that I can put the strength where it actually is and show that I can do static analysis. keep in mind that on that particular is a very negligible force but as the plan previews static analysis then I put it.
then tonight I try to do as you say then I let you know, thank you in advance for the availability!

It works! Thank you all!
I created a rectangle on a tangent plane and then used the dividing function inside the force command.
