Place Point Load

Point Loads can be input on:

  • 1D Members (node or edge)
  • 2D Members (node, edge or surface)
  1. Activate the Structural Point Load tool.
  2. In Tool Settings or Info Box: Select a Load Case (see Load Tool Settings).
  3. While you place the Load element, the potential host element (Structural Analytical Member) is highlighted. You also get a preview of what the Load will look like after placement.
    Note: If you are hovering over multiple host elements, use tab to cycle among them until the right one is highlighted.
  4. Click to place.
    Note: Loads are visible only if they belong to the currently visible Load Case. If you try to place a Load element that does not belong to the currently visible Load Case, you get a notification.
