Supported loads
=====================

Available loads are as follows:

**FORCE_ARETE**

Allows the application of linear forces.

Supported models: DKT, DST, Q4G

**FORCE_COQUE**

Allows surface forces to be applied.

Supported models: DKT, DST, Q4G, Q4G, DKTG, Q4G

**PESANTEUR**

Allows you to define the acceleration and the direction of gravity.

Supported models: DKT, DST, Q4G, Q4G, DKTG, Q4G

**PRES_REP**

Allows surface forces to be applied.

Supported models: DKT, DST, Q4G, Q4G, DKTG, Q4G

**PRE_EPSI**

Allows you to apply an initial deformation loading.

Supported models: DKT, DST, Q4G, Q4G, DKTG, Q4G

The application of thermal expansion loading is performed by defining the keyword factor AFFE_VARC under AFFE_MATERIAU [:external:ref:`U4.43.03 <U4.43.03>`].
