  Hi All
  
  I am trying to apply the loads on my model for a four points bending test simulation.
  
  The maximum load I got from the experimental results is 3570 N.
  
  How can I apply the load as in the experiment (applying the load linearly from zero until failure) ?
  
  The purpose of the analysis is to check the calculated stresses Vs the stresses obtained from FEM.
  
  Appreciate any help or guidance

  Thanks a lot peter. These posts were very helpful.
  
  Can I ask you please how to model the contact between the metal pads under the loading rollers and the panel ? so they don't add to the stiffness of the panel but distribute the load more uniformly and prevent premature failure of the backing fibreglass.

  Use Frictional Contact.
