CHAPTER 7 "CARGOES" 22 3.1.3 Loads in Plate elements Selecting the "Type " "Plate" You have the ability to set a Pressure , and the ability to enter a Temperature Change load for the finite surface elements has been added. 3.1.3.1 Temperature Change Plate More specifically, for the Plate (shell) elements the Uniform Temperature Change charge and the Linear Temperature Change charge were added. - The Uniform Temperature Change causes membrane deformation within the plane of the element, while - The Linear Temperature Change causes bending deformation. OBSERVATION: It should be noted that the two loads for the plate element, the Temperature Changes, can be included either in the same load or in two different loads.
