Girder Point Load
In the case of applying point loads to a girder object, this section of the girder load can be used.
Reference Location [Start/End/Middle]: The reference location for the point load (start, end, or middle) can be specified using this parameter.
Offset from Reference Location: This parameter allows you to offset the point load from the reference location. A positive offset value will move the point load in the upstation direction, while a negative offset will move the point load in the downstation direction.
Fx: Force in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.
Fy: Force in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.
Fz (Gravity): Force in the vertical direction. A positive value indicates a load in the global -Z direction (gravity direction). For typical loads (such as wearing surface loads or stay-in-place formwork loads), the user should input positive values.
Mx: Moment in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.
My: Moment in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.
Mz: Moment in the vertical direction.
