Hello,
Is there a way to apply a linear distributed load directly on a plate without having to create a beam with physical properties for the load to be applied?
For example, along the distance of 9,701m shown in the image below.
Thanks in advance!
Ignacio
You may apply the UDL as series of concentrated loads or partial plate pressure load. In this case, creating a dummy member and apply UDL on it would be the most simple approach, I think.
