MeshLoad

Hello everyone,

I don't know if I can use MeshLoad for that, but I'm trying to use it to see the load amount that should belong to every beam in a floor (since the have no equal loads).

The problem is that I've solved by other ways and I know that the loads that seem to get to every beam are not correct (the correct ones are written besides every line).

I thought it could be used as a surface load without the need to use a shell as structure, but obviously I'm doing something wrong, so...What are my mistakes?

Thanks in advance,

Pablo

Hello Pablo Gomez,

it seems as though the load quantities you write besides the lines are resultant loads (kN). Line loads have the physical unit kN/m. So for the side with length 9.6[m]: 14.6[kN]/9.6 [m]=1.52[kN/m] which is close to the 1.55[kN/m] generated via the MeshLoad-component.

Best,

Clemens
