General

Line:

Stage: (optional)

Fx [kip/ft]:

User must choose the line that was defined beforehand.

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

Fx: Force in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.

Fy: Force in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.

Fz (Gravity)

...

Mx [kip-ft/ft]:

My [kip-ft/ft]:

Mz [kip-ft/ft]:

...

: 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: Moment in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.

My: Moment in the direction perpendicular to the PGL.

Mz: Moment in the vertical direction.

Info

Although Fz is applied in the direction of gravity (positive values for Fz will correspond to the downward direction, as with gravity), Mz will have a positive direction relative to the +Z axis or, in other words, in the upward direction.

Element[Girder Top Flange/Girder Bottom Flange/Deck/Foundation/Pier Cap and Bents]: OpenBrIM distributes the defined line loads to the chosen element nodes.
