Load type > Strain state - bending part (secondary)

Specification of an initial strain state (bending part) via equivalent internal forces.

This load type is generated automatically in the case of a non-linear temperature distribution. The secondary component is the integral of the strain over the cross-section, the equivalent internal forces the integral of the strain-equivalent stresses.

SettingDescription
From, To, Step Element series to be loaded
Assembly Alternative to load assignment via element series: Name of the assembly to be loaded. The specified load is applied to every element of the specified assembly.
Nxa, Mya, Mza Applied components (normal force, bending moments) (begin of element)
Nxe, Mye, Mze Applied components (normal force, bending moments) (end of element)
