The meaning of the Value depends on the Type of load.
For Force load, the Value is the real value of the load.
For Wind load, the Value represents the loading width. The real wind pressure is defined by wind curve specified in the project settings.
For Snow load, the meaning is analogous to Wind load.
For Predefined load the meaning is analogous to Wind load.
The definition of load direction may be defined:
in the local co-ordinate system of a edge,
in a selected user-co-ordinate system,
in the global co-ordinate system.
The location depends on the setting of the System.
For local and user co-ordinate system, the location can be only Length.
However, for load defined in the global co-ordinate system, also a Projection may be selected.
For more information see chapter Direction of loads.
The location of the load on the edge may be defined in absolute or relative co-ordinates. If absolute co-ordinates are selected, the distance is defined in real length units set for the project. In the case of relative co-ordinates, the position of the load on the edge is defined by value from within the interval <0, 1>. In both cases, the distance is measured from the point defined in the Origin item.
