Hi, I am modelling a steel frame and I have a sloped low roof made of steel deck and beams. I want to apply loading on the deck to be distributed to the supporting beams and also account for the lateral stiffness due to the deck. How can I do this?…

Hi all, is there a way to apply concentrated member loads as shown in the image below using STAAD? This is a plan view of a cylinder, the blue marks show each beam division and each beam is 1m deep by 0.5m wide. Please advise. Thanks.
