Click Apply and the loads are created and displayed.
Distributed Loads
The cladding on the structure will be applied as a 300plf distributed vertical load
on the BEAM-Z members. We will apply these loads by clicking on the members
to demonstrate this method.
Click the Distributed Loads button. Change the value in the Start
Magnitude so that it reads “-0.3”. Notice how the value for the End Magnitude
automatically defaults to this same value.
Now click on the down arrow in the Basic Load Case field and select “5:
Cladding”.
