How to applying moving load on a beam which is not parallel to any axis in the plane?

Question

Hi, 
 I have a beam in the XZ plane, but it is neither pararell to X nor Z axis. I have to apply a moving load to that beam. Is that possible? Since staad only asks for increments in the x or z axis. If not then is there any work around? Pls find attached picture. The beam in question is the beam highlighted in red.

Thanking you all in advance, 
 Debayan

You can achieve this in a STAAD model. This is basically moving a load in a skewed direction. Please mention the X-increment and Z-increment together while generating the load. Please refer to the attached input file for moving a load in a skewed direction.

Please click on the Load icon, then select the corresponding generated load from the drop-down list ... hope this will work. Refer the attached image ...
