application forces

[Raffaele_M]

Hello everyone,
Could someone tell me if there is a way, in ansys workbench, to apply forces just in the portion of plate that is in contact with the upper piece? I tried to do a centesimal extrusion and apply it right there but as I imagined they create carving effects.
another question: Does anyone know how to calculate the reaction on engine supports due to the drive couple?

1. read the forum rules
2. ask questions with a minimum explanation
3. do not insert double threads
Thank you.

Sorry. I try to explain better:
I'm using ansys workbench. I have a plate that is in contact with a piece in a portion of the upper part. I should apply a force only in that portion of the plate. Could someone help me?

Hi, leave the plate, apply us over the force. You can enter a bonded contact between the two bodies.
how is motor support bound? if you have to put it on the ground you can insert into its fixed holes or displacements or joints that, once the system is resolved, are interroglabile in their strength components.
