The Load Transfer member type is designed to transmit member and nodal loads directly to adjacent connected objects including nodal supports, members, surfaces, solids, and line supports.
A key characteristic: this member type has no stiffness. ⚠️
For other member types, such as beam members, the load-transfer functionality can also be activated as an additional option. In these cases, the behavior remains the same, but the elements retain their original stiffness. 💡
This feature provides structural engineers with greater flexibility when modeling realistic load paths while keeping the structural system clear and consistent. 🏗️✨
