Point Load

Add a to points for concentrated forces or moments at points. The loads are defined in the given coordinate system.

Enter values or expressions for the components (x, y, z for 3D models and x, y for 2D models) of the point load FP.


	The FP list normally only contains User defined. When combining the Beam interface with another physics interface, it is also possible to choose a predefined load from this list.

Enter values or expressions for the components (x, y, z for 3D models and z for 2D models) of the point moment MP (3D) or Mlz (2D).

) and select in the dialog box.

If you are performing a linear buckling analysis with a combination of live and dead loads, select the check box to indicate that the load contributions from this node are constant. The default is that a load is proportional to the load factor.


	For more information about live and dead loads, see Buckling Analysis.

You can add the Phase subnode to specify the phase of this load in a frequency domain analysis.
