Create trapezoidal loads

Trapezoidal loads can be applied to all one-dimensional member types (with the exception of braces and truss internals) as follows:
  1. In the Loading list, select an appropriate loadcase.
  2. On the Load tab, click Trapezoidal.
  3. In the Properties window, adjust the load details according to your needs.
  4. Hover the mouse pointer over the member that you want to apply the load to.
  5. Click the load position along the member, or press F2 to type the exact position.

    The load position defines the point at which the symmetrical trapezoidal load reaches its maximum intensity.
