Load level

The option allows defining a level of the load used for the check of lateral buckling conditions. It is available after pressing the relevant icon in the Lateral buckling parameters field in the Member definition - parameters dialog box.

The user may choose one of several icons corresponding to load cases of the beam section at the levels from the top edge to the bottom edge of the beam. The information about the way the load is applied is used while calculating a value of the lateral buckling coefficient.
