Loads and BCs

CAEFEM supports the following loads and boundary conditions. All structural loads and boundary conditions can be time dependent and can be specified in any user defined coordinate system. All thermal loads can be functions of both time and temperature.

Boundary conditions

	Prescribed displacements in any user defined coordinate system.
	Single point constraints
	Multipoint constraints
	Constraint equations

Loads

Body Loads

	Gravity / Inertia loads
	Centrifugal loads

Nodal Loads

	Forces and Moments
	Displacements
	Temperatures
	Heat flux
	Heat generation
	Velocities
	Accelerations

Element Loads

Pressure loads

Deformation dependent pressure loads (follower forces)

Distributed line loads on Beams and Rods

	Either in global coordinate system or in elemental coordinate system.
	Accepts linear variation of distributed loads.

Heat generation

Heat flux

Convection

Radiation
