Good Day Matej,
I’ve tried to run static analysis on simple deck subjected to 2 point loads but there’re no result shown. Could you please give me some pointer here, i’m new user of this software.
Reference points work only when used by rigid body constraints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMTlFyyFEDQ
Understood, supposed i want to place my concentrated force on a specific coordinate then how can i do it?
Best Regards
Guslan

You will need a node there - you can ensure that by having a vertex in your geometry in the same location. But applying concentrated forces to individual nodes is usually not a good idea (especially in the case of solid models) because this introduces stress concentrations. It’s better to spread them on small surfaces (partition the surfaces of the model in CAD software before importing the geometry to PrePoMax).
Rigid body constraints may also be used to apply concentrated forces from reference points by spreading them on the selected edges or surfaces.
