inserted radial loads

[albefd]

hello to all

i am trying to put forces in radial and tangential direction on a circular element, i thought it was enough to move to a cylindrical reference system and set the forces respectively in x and y direction, but it does not work,

someone knows how to solve the problem

bye.

p.s. the software used is ansys 11

you do not have to rotate the csys, but use "nrotate" that only rotates the dofs of the knots (because they are knots and not keypoint!) . at that point x=radiale, y= circumferential. I put hundreds of loads like this.

Thank you. I will try as soon as possible.
