  Is there an easy way to apply a remote force in discovery live? I haven't been able to find a setting for remote force, would it require adding another body with the required offset and apply the load to that?

  Hi RFraser
  
  Remote force is not an available option is Discovery Live. As you have mentioned, you may have to create a dummy body for transmitting forces to the components that you are interested in.

  There is already a suggestion posted in the Ideas section for adding Remote Forces and Remote Displacements. If you want to have this feature incorporated, you can vote for the idea here.
