Point Load
Add a Point Load to points for concentrated forces or moments at points. The loads are defined in the given coordinate system.
Point Load
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.
Point Moment
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).
Linear Buckling
To display this section, click the Show More Options button () and select Advanced Physics Options in the Show More Options dialog box.
If you are performing a linear buckling analysis with a combination of live and dead loads, select the Treat as dead load 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.
 
You can add the Phase subnode to specify the phase of this load in a frequency domain analysis.
