Define the properties of a load

Before you create a load, it is a good idea to define or check the load properties.

  1. 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.

  2. In the load properties dialog box:
    1. 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.

    2. Click OK to save the properties.

Tekla Structures uses these properties when you create new loads of this type.
