Loads

Either uniformly distributed or variable (trapezoidal) loads can be entered.

Using the Load Geometry the positioning of the linear form load can be defined. It is possible to specify the load length as an absolute value or as ratio of element length. The values which are unavailable for editing are locked with a lock symbol. Other values will be available for editing.

The load Eccentricity field can be used to define the position of the load relative to a point within the section of the line.

A detailed description of these properties can be found in the chapter ‘LINE,CURV – Free Line Loading’ of the manual SOFiLOAD.
