Loadings
Question: For an irregular structure it is very time consuming to draw the area loads to match the structure. Is there a faster way?
Answer: It is not necessary for area loads to match the structure. Area loads can overlap each other and they can "overhang" the floor. This is shown in the PT tutorial.
Question: Can I input thermal loads into Concept?
Answer:
Yes, see Drawing Loads for more information on temperature and shrinkage area loads.
Question: How do Lateral Self Equilibrium loadings work?
Answer: Refer to Self-equilibrium analysis .
However, the best way to understand Lateral SE could be this simple example:
