Column Load

Column: Specify the column to which the load will be applied.

Stage: Choose the stage at which to apply the load.

Distance from Top [ft]:Fx [kip]: Enter a value to define the location of the load with respect to the start of the column.

Fx: Force in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.

Fy [kip]: Force in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.

Fz [kip]: Force in the vertical direction. A positive value indicates a load in the global -Z or gravity direction. For usual loads (wearing surface loads - stay-in-place formwork loads), the user should input positive values.

Mx [kip-ft]: Moment in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.

My [kip-ft]: Moment in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.

Mz [kip-ft]: Moment in the vertical direction.
