Specifications |
Load types  For the trapezoidal load type, the intended one is selected from 4 options. |
Value 1 , Value 2, Value 3, Value 4, (V1, V2, V3, V4)  Enter the value of the load in the working unit. If you are looking at the properties of the current load, you will see that load value. You can change it according to the situation. |
Left distance 1, Left distance 2 (L1, L2)  Give the distance values relative to the lower end for vertical elements and the left end for horizontal elements. If you are looking at the properties of the current load, you will see the previously entered value. |
Right distance 1, Right distance 2 (R1,R2)  Give the distance values relative to the upper end for vertical elements and the right end for horizontal elements. If you are looking at the properties of the current load, you will see the previously entered value. |
Description  If you are looking at the properties of the current load, the description of that load is shown. You can change it according to the situation. If you are defining a new load, write a description of the load you will define. |
Load case  If you are looking at the properties of the current load, it is shown for which load case that load is valid. If you are adding a new payload, select from the list the load state to which the load you will define will apply. If the installation status is not defined in the system, the program will ask you to define it. |
Coordinate system  Specify whether the entered load values are given relative to the element local axes or to the global axes. |
Direction  Provide information in which direction the load is valid. According to X, Y, Z global coordinate system, it shows the direction of the load according to 1,2 3 local coordinate axes. G indicates that this load is a constant (vertical) load. |
Axes according to the global coordinate system
...
Moments rotate their axis and the positive direction is determined by the right hand rule.
