Inputs

Pier Cap: Choose the pier cap to impose the line load.

Stage: Select a stage to apply the load.

Start Distance From Right (relative): The relative distance where the line load is applied starts must be specified with a value between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to the initial node of the selected pier cap, and 1 corresponds to the final node. The initial node is defined in along the alignment direction of alignment, looking upstation (to the right in the standard view).

End Distance From Right (relative): The relative distance where the line load is applied ends must be specified with a value between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to the initial node of the selected pier cap, and 1 corresponds to the final node. The initial node is defined in along the alignment direction of alignment, looking upstation (to the right in the standard view).

Fx: Force in X direction. The longitudinal direction along the alignment will correspond to the X direction.

Fy: Force in Y direction. The transverse direction along the alignment will correspond to the X Y direction.

Fz (Gravity): Force in Z direction. A positive value will apply the load in the gravity direction, while a negative value will apply the load in the opposite direction.

Mx : Moment in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.

My : Moment in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.

Mz : Moment in the vertical direction.
