Hi,
maybe it is a silly question but I would like to know the difference between body force and point force in the Create/Edit Prescribed Force Panel.
Both types of force allow for the "Applies Torque" option. Where is this torque applied when you choose for the Body Force ?
thanks

RE: Body Force vs. Point Force
Hi Maria,
A BodyForce is applied at the center of mass of the body as opposed to a specified point in the respective body frame.
Hope this helps,
