-====== Body Loads ======
-<WRAP group>
-<WRAP half column>
-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.
-Body loads are applied by connecting to the volumetric loads input on the Scan&Solve stress solver component.  When several body loads are applied simultaneously, the simulation sums their contributions.

-=====Gravitational Loads=====
-<WRAP group>
-<WRAP half column>
-Gravitational loads are a type of body load that may be connected to the volumetric load input on the Scan&Solve stress solver component.  A gravitational load simulates the structural effect of a body's self-weight.

-=====Rotational Body Loads=====
-<WRAP group>
-<WRAP half column>
-A rotational body load consists of 3 components: angular velocity,angular acceleration, and the axis of rotation.The direction of the rotation is determined using the right hand rule: using your right hand, point your thumb in the direction of the axis. A positive angular acceleration would simulate moving the restraints in the direction the fingers of your right hand would wrap around the axis. The body will tend to deflect in the opposite direction. The radial deflection due to angular velocity is independent of rotational direction.
-The rotational body load is added to the body loads due to gravity and linear acceleration.

-=====Linear Acceleration Body Loads=====
-<WRAP group>
-<WRAP half column>
-Linear acceleration vector loads are specified by entering the components of a linear acceleration vector in fractions of Earth's g.  The inputs are a direction of acceleration (a vector) and the magnitude of acceleration in g's.
