  Hello, I'm trying to do a Transient analysis. My force is acting in a particular direction, I know the direction and magnitude. should I apply the force as Vecotr or change it to component and apply in that particular direction.
  I tried both methods and the results are way-off.
  Thank you

  Hi Naresh,
  I don’t think it will make any difference unless and until you have considered different directions and the face where the force is applied. Will you please upload a screenshot of the simulation that you have performed? Please include the scoping area (faces or edges) where you have applied the force.

  Thank you for the reply, Unfortunately, I do not have the simulation files now. It was an old study, I applied the force in the same direction, and magnitude and scoped it to the same face but the results were different.
  Anyhow I want to clarify it in the forum. I'll report if I see any difference in the future.

    Thanks for the information.
    I have tried at my end and I didn't find any difference in this. If you face any issues then feel free to ask here.
