How to apply a point load in a solidwith CodeAster

I have a question , I need to model a pile in contact with the ground which should be subject to a point charge , is there any way to put a point charge ?

Sure,
for example with FORCE_NODALE. Just apply it to a single node with GROUP_NO and a group consisting of a single node.
Best,
Richard

Thanks, Richard


I'm afraid I don't know how to use the Python console yet. I just started to use this program, and I only know how to use the Graphical User Interface to execute the comands. I've never introduced a command in the Python console, so, can you tell me how is the right way to introduce them?

Or if you know a page where I could find tutorials and ohter help in order to start using the Python Console.

I will appreciate it!

Thanks

Hi,
if you want to learn how to use Code-Aster you should have a look at their website: code-aster.org

The most interesting part for a beginner is probably the training material: code-aster.org/V2/spip.php?article920

Also the book of J.P. Aubry "Beginning with Code_Aster" should be very useful: framabook.org/beginning-with-code_aster/
(you can download it for free or buy the printed version)

Have fun!

On the other hand, if you don't want to go the hard way, you could try SimScale . It's completely browser based and has a nice GUI for Code_Aster and it's for free.

Best,
Richard
