M. To add pressure load on a plate
To add a uniform pressure load over an entire plate or a rectangular portion of a plate, use the following procedure.
M. To add a concentrated load on a plate
To add a point load anywhere on the face of a plate, use the following procedure.
M. To add loads over a region by corner pressures
To add trapezoidally varying pressure loads over a region, use the following procedure.
M. To add an area load
To add an loaded area which distributes pressure to beams forming a closed loop, use the following procedure.
M. To add a floor load or one-way load
To generate a pressure load over a floor area using either two-way or one-way load distribution, use the following procedure.
M. To add a surface selfweight load
To add a selfweight load for surface elements so the weight of the surface elements is included in the analysis of the structure, use the following procedure.
