Use this dialog to define loads acting on structure bars from a load applied to a particular surface.
- Access
-
- Click
on the Bar tab in the Load Definition dialog.
- Click
- Alpha
- Defines the possible anisotropy of the load, that is, the direction the planar load is transferred to the support bars.
- Values
- Specifies the load distribution.
- Enter the value of the load intensity in the characteristic points or nodes (px, py, or pz).
- In the local coordinate system
- Sets the coordinate system to local.
- Load application plane
- Specifies the plane to which the load is applied. (The plane is defined by 3 points or nodes at which the load is defined.)
