Uniformly and variably distributed loads (UDLs and VDLs) can be applied to all
one-dimensional member types (with the exception of braces and truss internals) as
follows:
In the
Loading list, select an appropriate loadcase.
On the Load tab, click UDL or VDL.
In the
Properties window, adjust the load details according to your needs.
Hover the mouse pointer over the member to which you want to apply the load.
Click the start point of the load along the member, or press
F2 to type the exact position.
Click the end point of the load along the member, or press
F2 to type the exact position.
