Question:
Does load generation also work for curved members?
Answer:
No, load generation, such as "Surface Load on Members via Plane", only works for straight or articulated straight members.
If necessary, curved members can be converted into polygonal members as follows:
Divide the curved member by the desired number of intermediate nodes
(right-click the member → Divide Member).
Select all curved members.
In the table, change the line type from "Arc" to "Polyline".
If necessary, use the "Show Selected Objects Only" function; see Image 01.
Change the top line type in the table.
Select all rows → right-click → "Set", see Image 02.
