SUMMARY
To apply a uniform load on a grid structure in Ansys Workbench 14, calculate the force (F) using the formula F = p*A, where p is the pressure and A is the area of each grid section. Users should select all wire intersection nodes on one side of the box and apply the calculated force F to each node individually. This process must be repeated for each side of the box and the bottom. Currently, there is no direct method to select all wires simultaneously for force application.
