Defining a new point load on a beam

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

The procedure for the definition of a new point load on a 1D member
  1. Open the required function via tree menu Loads or via menu Tree > Loads:

    1. Point force > on beam

    2. Moment > on beam

    3. Point displacement > on beam - translation

    4. Point displacement > on beam - rotation

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

  3. Input the position of the load on the 1D member.

  4. Type the number of repetitions of the load and input the distance between adjacent loads.

  5. Confirm the settings with [OK] button.

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

  7. Close the function.
