Edge Load

Add an as a force distributed along an edge (3D models) or boundary (2D models).

Select a — , or . Enter values or expressions for the components.


	After selecting a Load type, the Load list normally only contains User defined. When combining the Wire interface with another physics interface, it is also possible to choose a predefined load from this list.

) 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.
