GGU-ELASTIC: "Line loads" menu item

The dimension of line loads is e.g. kN/m/m = kN/m².

General information can be found in the menu item "Point loads". The procedure for defining line loads is explained in the dialog box.

After clicking system nodes and confirming the selection with the [Return] key, a dialog box opens for defining the start and the end value. The intermediate boundaries will be assigned the appropriate value in a linear relationship to the point spacing.

If line loads have already been defined an additional "Delete all line loads" button appears in the info box after selecting this menu item again. If you exit the dialog box by using this button, all line loads are deleted and a new line load can be defined.

If you need to delete individual line loads or sections of them, click the system nodes again, accept with the [Return] key and exit the start and end value dialog box by pressing "OK". The following dialog box now appears:

Click the "Delete old load" button until all sections of the marked line load are deleted and then define the new line load if required. If you exit the box by pressing "Cancel" before you are finished, the undeleted boundaries will remain in place.
