Force along an arbitrary vector

SergioSergio
Hi Victor, is possible to add a feature on the GUI to allow to apply forces along a vector (normally would be an edge of the geometry, but this vector could be also defined between two nodes, or normal to a face, that would not be neccesary the face were the load is applied)? Now this can be done by means of the force XYZ component (or some TRANSFORM card maybe), but that kind of vector orientation is more simple for the user.

Regards!

    Possibly. What's the use for that? Because it's easier to position nodes than enter vector components, or to align it with the mesh?

    Very often the load directions are aligned with some edge or face of the geometry, so using it directly is easier than compute the vectors. No, I will not put a new node to align a force, is always using existing points, edges or faces.
