Force dialog box (Acoustics BEM)

Name
Name	Sets the name of the force node.
Description	Sets the description for the force node.
Destination Folder
Load Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition is stored.The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical list of existing folders.To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Model Objects
Group Reference	Lets you apply force and moment to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select the geometry or FE entities on which the load (force and moment) is applied.ExcludedLets you remove individual entities from within the selected object.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Field
Force Moment	Specifies how you want to define oscillating forces and moment loads through six components for Real/Imaginary and Magnitude/Phase.
Fx RealFy RealFz Real	Available when Force is set to Real/Imaginary.Sets the real part of each force component.
Fx ImaginaryFy ImaginaryFz Imaginary	Available when Force is set to Real/Imaginary.Sets the imaginary part of each force component.
Fx MagnitudeFy MagnitudeFz Magnitude	Available when Force is set to Magnitude/Phase.Sets the magnitude of the force.
Fx PhaseFy PhaseFz Phase	Available when Force is set to Magnitude/Phase.Sets the phase angle of the force.
Mx RealMy RealMz Real	Available when Moment is set to Real/Imaginary.Sets the real part of each moment component.
Mx ImaginaryMy ImaginaryMz Imaginary	Available when Moment is set to Real/Imaginary.Sets the imaginary part of each moment component.
Mx MagnitudeMy MagnitudeMz Magnitude	Available when Moment is set to Magnitude/Phase.Sets the magnitude component of the moment.
Mx PhaseMy PhaseMz Phase	Available when Moment is set to Magnitude/Phase.Sets the phase component of the moment.
Specify Field	Available when Force or Moment is set to Field.Specifies the frequency-dependent complex field values.Select Existing Field from List opens the Fields dialog box, where you can select a field. A field can define a magnitude that varies with independent variables such as frequency, temperature, or time. For more information about fields, see Fields.Formula Constructor opens the Formula Field dialog box, where you can define a formula to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a formula field.Table Constructor opens the Table Field dialog box, where you can define tabular data to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a table field and Define a material property using a table field.Plot (XY) plots the field as an XY graph.For more information, see Graph overview.Overlay(XY) overlays a plot on an existing plot. You can overlay up to 50 plots.For more information, see Overlay plots.
Scale Factor	Available when Force or Moment is set to Field.Sets the scale factor to apply to the field. The magnitude of complex field values can be modified by changing the scale factor.
