Eccentric Nodal Loads

For the selection, the load reference is crucial. When entering the torsional moment, the load acts independently of the deformation. In detail, this means that the load remains constant when rotating the member around its axis. The more common case of dividing the load by the rotation is created using the defined eccentricity. For example, if there is an eccentricity for a load in the local z‑direction, the member torsion causes the resulting torsional moment to be partially redistributed in the local y‑direction, so the torsional moment failure is smaller than in the first case.
