Modify area load instance properties to specify reaction, load case, orientation and more.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Structural Analysis | |
| Load Case | Specifies the load case to apply. |
| Nature | Displays the type of load case, such as Live or Dead loads. |
| Orient to | Either Project, Work Plane, or Host Local Coordinate System. Selects the coordinate system with which to orient the load. Project specifies the global xyz coordinates of the project. Work Plane specifies the xyz coordinates of the current work plane (unhosted loads only).Host Local Coordinate System specifies the xyz coordinates in relation to the orientation of the host. |
| Is constrained on host | Specifies if the load should follow its host contour. If this constraint is disabled, the load can be adjusted independently from the contour of its host. |
| Projected Load | Specifies the load intensity as projected along the sloped projection of an area load. |
| Forces | |
| Fx 1 | Specifies the Force(1) applied to the point in the x direction. |
| Fy 1 | Specifies the Force(1) applied in the y direction. |
| Fz 1 | Specifies the Force(1) applied in the z direction. |
| Fx 2 | Specifies the Force(2) applied in the x direction. |
| Fy 2 | Specifies the Force(2) applied in the y direction. |
| Fz 2 | Specifies the Force(2) applied in the z direction. |
| Fx 3 | Specifies the Force(3) applied in the x direction. |
| Fy 3 | Specifies the Force(3) applied in the y direction. |
| Fz 3 | Specifies the Force(3) applied in the z direction. |
| Identity Data | |
| Description | A description of the load. |
| Comments | Specific comments about the load. |
| Phasing | |
| Phase Created | Indicates in which phase the load was created. See Project Phasing. |
| Phase Demolished | Indicates in which phase the load was demolished. See Project Phasing. |
| Other | |
| Is Reaction | Specifies the load is a reaction force and part of the Internal Load category. |
| Area | Displays the area of the area load. |
