Before you create a load, it is a good idea to define or check the load properties.
- On the Analysis & design tab, click Load properties , and then click a relevant load type.
For example, click Area load to define area load properties.
- In the load properties dialog box:
- Enter or modify the properties.
Select a load group.
Define the load magnitude, and the load form if needed.
Attach the load to a part or to a position.
You cannot attach a load to a part after you have created the load.
You can detach a load from a part after you have created the load.
Define the load-bearing parts.
If needed, adjust the loaded length or area.
If needed, modify the load distribution on the Load panel tab.
- Click OK to save the properties.
Tekla Structures uses these properties when you create new loads of this type.
