Load type > Strain state - bending part (primary)
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, if the primary part of TempVar shall be included (calculation option). The primary component is a fictitious value, equivalent to an additional internal force creating accurate strain and stress results in the top and bottom edge of the cross-section.
