Hi Halim,

at the moment (Karamba 1.2.1) the best solution is to approximate the triangular load with small pieces of constant loads.

Hi Clemens, 

Thank you.

Hi Halim,

I recommend to input the mesh load on your beams.

You can have a diagonal shape of surface close to your beam. For the mesh size, 0.05 is okay.

Thus, you need to split your line into "line length/0.05" pieces. And then make them beams.

Although it'll be segmented "line loads" from [Mesh Load], the result is 99% correct as the formula.

Hi,

Do you have maybe an example for me?

Best,

Here it is for the simple beam.
