Ok, now we can specify the loading and boundary conditions for the simulation. First, we will specify the force on the 100 lb force on the bike crank at the origin (if you don't know where the origin is, click on Geometry > Apply
to see it). Click on to open the loading tool bar, then select Loads > Force. We want to apply the force to the surface on the inside of the hole at the origin. So make sure you are selecting a surface by selecting . Next, select the inside of the hole at the origin, and selectNext, we need to specify the magnitude of the force. We want the 100 lb force to point in the negative y-direction. To do this, we need to select Define By > Components, then specify the y component of the force to be -100 lbs.
