Distributed Force in Circular Domain

+1 vote

hi, I am new to FEniCS.

I have to apply point load in circular domain, Instead of point load can i apply distributed load but magnitude will be high at the point of application and decay as length decreases.

any small idea will helps a lot.

Thanks

Could you be more specific, expressing your ideas with mathematics? This will help us understand what you want to achieve.

If you'd like to start with something simple, dolfin has support for the Dirac delta function by using the PointSource class.

I want to convert Concentrated Load at the specific point to Distributed Load over fixed region . but magnitude deacy over space.
