7. LOADS

CHAPTER 7 "CARGOES" 21 • The next section of the load import dialog box is for viewing and deleting the loads you are importing. By selecting the "Insert" button and after you have specified a load in the way mentioned before, this load appears in the table with all its data. EXAMPLE: For example, enter a Uniformly Distributed Force (U.D.F.) that belongs to Load (LC) 1 (Permanent Loads) in Load Group (LG) 1. The numbers following the description (Masonry) are, in order, the value of the beginning load (10.00), the end load, the distance of the load from the beginning, the distance of the load from the end (10.00), and the angle of placement. If you select a load in the viewer panel that you have already entered, it will turn blue and you can edit it. You can also delete it with the "Clear by selection" button . Finally, to delete all the loads that are in the dashboard, check the option next to the "Clear" button. Observation: When a temperature load is applied to the nodes, only axial forces are generated and the existence of a diaphragm plate function is necessary
