Q: If I take your advice in the question above and I use 6.1m and my QMID and QBEG are 88.9 and 11.1, and the TBLEN is not 1/2 of my rocker beam (15.25/2), how will MOSES distribute the loads at the beginning of the rocker beam?
REV 5.08

A: The loads will be distributed according to the documentation in the User's Reference Manual. Specifically, the load is distributed according

using a trapezoidal distribution. 88.9% of the load will be at the pin, with 11.1/2 at the forward end of the rocker arm, and 11.1/2 at the aft end of the rocker arm. The total length of the rocker arm will be assumed to be 6.1*2 meters, or 12.2 meters.
