NodeCouple and NodeForce for Loads

[Lei Lei]

Dear STKOteam,

I find there are two kinds of 'Loads.Force.' constraints, namely 'Couple' and 'Force'. So what's the difference between them?

Looking forward to your reply！

Hi, it's the same difference as the one between force and moment. Both can be applied either at poin or over edge or face or volume.

[Lei Lei]

So, is the direction of the force couple determined by the right-hand rule?

[kesavapraba]

Yes, you are correct.

Thanks for your reply!

Best wishes!
