Load Types > Trapezoidal, Triangular and Variable Load
Selection of a Load Type of the load type group for the definition of element loads non-uniformly distributed over the elements.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Trapezoidal element load | Trapezoidal load distributed over the whole clear element length (linear increase or decrease of the load intensity). |
| Trapezoidal element load | Trapezoidal moment loading distributed over the whole clear element length (linear increase or decrease of the moment intensity). |
| Partial trapezoidal load (PTXG, PTXL, PTYG, PTYL, PTZG, PTZL) | Trapezoidal load distributed over a part of the clear element length (linear increase or decrease of the intensity from start to end point of loading). |
| Triangular element load (DREIG, DREIL) | Triangular shaped distributed loading over the whole clear element length (linear increase from 0.0 at element ends to the maximum value in the center) |
| Variable load (QVAR..G, QVAR..L) | The load intensity is described by a table (RM-Variable) as a function of a selected geometry parameter being the abscissa value. Allowed geometric reference parameters are:
