Remote Force

Remote force is a type of force, which act a force as well as produce some effect of moment. It produce effect on a point of a face or edge without creating point on that.

In ANSYS, the remote force boundary condition is equivalent to a regular force load on a face or a force load on an edge, plus some moment. The advantage of using a remote force is that you can directly specify the location in space from which the force originates. A remote force is classified as a remote boundary condition.

A remote force boundary condition can be applied to a face, edge or vertex of a 3D model or to an edge or vertex of a 2D model.
