Step 5: Moving loads

Fig 1. Loads Generator Step 5: Moving Loads (for beam elements)

Parameter	Description
Description	name of load(s) system(s) is saved or loaded in from project file
Load value	load magnitude [kN]
Rel. position	relative load placement [m] in local X’ direction respectively last applied load; rel. position value could be positive or negative signed
Direction	load direction respectively to local Z'' or X' axis
Select/Stop selecting	select moving load track as user defined polyline track of structure members: press Select button and mark members in Structure View layout - along this track loads movement is possible; list of selected members is shown after pressing Stop selecting button
Begin/End member	the first/last member from the selected members group
Offset begin/end	offset [m] of starting/ending movement point for moving load system respectively begin/end point of load track polyline
Steps	quantity of load system stop-point steps inside load track taking into account offsets
Shift distance	shift value [m] for load system stop-points inside load track taking into account offsets
Selection length	total length [m] of selected members

Fig 2. Loads Generator Step 5: Moving Loads (for FEM elements)

Parameter	Description
Description	name of load(s) system(s) is saved or loaded in from project file
Load value	load magnitude [kN]
Rel. position	relative load placement [m] in local X’ direction respectively last applied load; rel. position value could be positive or negative signed
Perp. offset	offset value [m] for a load placement perpendicular and respectively to local X’ axis; perp. offset value could be positive or negative signed
Select/Stop selecting	select moving load track as user defined polyline track; along this track movement of moving load is possible
Offset begin/end	offset [m] of starting/ending movement point for moving load system respectively begin/end point of load track polyline
Steps	quantity of load system stop-point steps inside load track taking into account offsets
Shift distance	shift value [m] for load system stop-points inside load track taking into account offsets
Selection length	total length [m] of selected load track polyline
Replace generated loads	replacement of already generated moving load(s) by new defined system
