Defining a new line load on a beam

The same procedure is applicable for the definition of all line loads, i.e. line force, line moment, translation of a 1D member, rotation of a 1D member, wind pressure over a 1D member, etc.

The procedure for the definition of a new line load on a 1D member

1. Open the required function via tree menu Loads or via menu Tree > Loads:

   1. Line force on beam

   2. Line moment on beam

   3. Line displacement > relative translation

   4. Line displacement > relative rotation

2. Specify the parameters of the load and its size.

3. Input the starting point and end point of the load position. (This must be made only for force loads as the prescribed displacement must be applied to the whole 1D member.)

4. Confirm the settings with [OK] button.

5. Select 1D members where the load should act.

6. Close the function.
