Apply the Forces

Next, we  apply the forces to the ends of the handles. Use surface forces, which will distribute the load over the area at the end of the handle.

1. Select   View Navigate Enclose (Fit All). This command is also available from the Navigation Bar.
2. With the  Selection Shape Point or Rectangle and  Selection Select Surfaces commands active, click and drag to draw  a selection rectangle around the end of the  upper handle, as shown below.  
   
3. Click Setup Loads Force. One surface was selected at the end of the handle, as indicated in the title bar of the dialog.
   • Type -20 in the Magnitude field.

   • Click OK.
4. Draw a box enclosing the end of the lower handle.
5. Click Setup Loads Force.
