View - Nodal Loads

The View – Nodal Loads command is used to display the nodal load cases that were modeled in the RAM Modeler using the Nodal Loads Options dialog.

To show a nodal load case, select the display check box, select one or more load cases from the Nodal Load Cases list box and click Apply. Arrows representing the selected load cases will be displayed on the screen.

Note: The single-headed arrow indicates a force and the double-headed arrow represents a moment rotating around global axis. Using the right-hand rule, the thumb points in the direction of the double-headed arrow and the fingers are in the direction of moment.

To include either the load case label or the magnitude of the load, select the Labels check box, select which label to display and click Apply.

Exiting the dialog by clicking OK will leave the nodal load cases displayed on the screen until the command de-selected. Exiting the dialog by clicking the Cancel button will remove the nodal load case display from the screen.
