Abaqus Load Skill

Apply mechanical and thermal loads to FEA models - forces, pressures, gravity, and heat flux.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

• "Apply a force", "add pressure", "put a load on"
• "Gravity", "self-weight", "body force"
• "Point load", "distributed load", "traction"
• "Heat flux", "thermal load"
• "Force in the X/Y/Z direction"

Route elsewhere:

• Fixed supports, displacements, symmetry → /abaqus-bc
• Contact forces between parts → /abaqus-interaction
• Initial temperature fields, pre-stress → /abaqus-field
• Time-varying load profiles → /abaqus-amplitude
