Generating Member Loads from Surface Loads

Area loads can be automatically converted into member loads. There are 2 options available for this:

  • Generate Member Loads from Area Load via Plane
  • Member loads from area loads via cells

Depending on the selected option, you either have to define a plane via corner nodes or select cells in the graphic. The area load can either be applied to the entire surface or only the effective or projected surface of the members.
