To assign concentrated member forces or moments to the currently selected members, use the following procedure.

1. Select the members which will all have the same concentrated loads applied.
   Tip: Multiple load items can be applied to individual objects so that the resulting composite load is different on each of the selected objects.
2. On the Member ribbon tab, select one of the following tools in the Loads group:

   Tool	Description
   Concentrated	Apply point loads along the length of a member using the Add Member Concentrated Load dialog.
   Concentrated Moment	Apply concentrated moments along the length of a member using the Add Member Concentrated Moment dialog.

   The corresponding dialog opens.
3. Select the Load group or case to which the load will be added from the drop-down list.
4. Select the Direction in which the loads are applied. For concentrated forces, this is the direction along which the force acts. For concentrated moments, this is the axis about which the moment acts.
5. (Optional) Check the As a percentage box to input distances as a percentage of the overall member length.
6. Enter the load magnitude and location values:
   1. Click the Loads drop-down. A table opens to enter the values.
   2. For each concentrated load or moment, type the magnitude and distance. Negative values may be entered for magnitude of Load or Moment.
   3. (Optional) For concentrated forces, type a transverse distance value to apply the load through a point other than the shear center. This eccentric loading results in a moment in addition to force.
7. Click OK The dialog closes and the member concentrated load is added to the load group.
