https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/214248/linear-load-on-plateHello, 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.

In this case, creating a dummy member and apply UDL on it would be the most simple approach, I think.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
