| Zone Name |
Select a previously defined enclosed zone definition name from the drop-down list. |
| Intensity |
Specify the pressure of the zone load in the current force per square length units.
Tip: Negative values can be used to reverse the
load application direction.
|
| Direction |
Select the direction of load application for the enclosed zone:
- Local Z - normal to the plane of the enclosed
zone
The
load is applied using the "right-hand rule": if
a enclosed zone boundary is defined by nodes in a
counter-clockwise order, then a positive value loads in the
positive local Z direction. Conversely, if a enclosed zone
boundary is defined by nodes in a clockwise order, then a
positive value loads in the negative local Z direction.
- GX / GY / GZ - parallel to one of the global model
axes.
This option represents a
projected load along a global axes. This can be particular
useful in applying wind or snow loads.
