+ | ====== Body Loads ====== | ||
Body loads comprise forces that are distributed over a solid volume. Probably the most familiar of these is the gravitational force acting on a mass to give it weight. Simple gravitational loads are applied in the Specify tab using the Gravity checkbox. Rotational body loads and general linear acceleration loads are applied by choosing **[Add]** in the **Loads** group. Followed by the **__B__ody** option at the command line. | Body loads comprise forces that are distributed over a solid volume.
