Surface Loads
Topics in this section
Uniform Planar Load
Use this dialog to define uniform loads acting on planar finite elements of a structure.
Variable Load Defined at Three Points
Varying loads specified by 3 points act on selected planar finite elements of a structure.
Planar Load 3p dialog
Use this dialog to define a varying load that is specified by 3 points and acts on selected planar FEs of a structure.
Linear Load
Linear loads act along a selected line defined on the planar finite elements of a structure.
Linear Load 2p dialog
Use this dialog to define linear loads acting along a selected line defined on the planar finite elements of a structure.
Pressure Load
Pressure loads act on the planar finite elements of a structure.
Pressure dialog
Use this dialog to define loads due to hydrostatic pressure acting on the planar finite elements of a structure.
Thermal Load 3p
Use this dialog to define linear loads acting along a selected line defined on planar finite elements of a structure.
Uniform Loads on Contours
Use this dialog to define the uniform load acting on a user-defined area of a plate or shell.
Variable Loads Defined on Contours (3 points)
Use this dialog to define variable loads p, applied to a user-defined contour.
Linear load on edges
Use this dialog to define a linear load acting on the edges of defined objects such as polylines, lines, panels, etc.
Geometrical limits
Use this dialog to indicate the panel [finite element] parts on which a planar load is applied.
