Pushover Load [SIG]

General

Point: Loading - Load Geometry Definitions - Point objects can be used for defining this parameter. The point will be utilized for location definition for the pushover point load.

Pushover Case: Specify a previously defined pushover case to be used for analysis.

Fx: Initial force acting along the X-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

Fy: Initial force acting along the Y-axis, which can also be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

Fz (Gravity): Initial force acting along the Z-axis (typically representing gravity), which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

Mx: Initial moment about the X-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

My: Initial moment about the Y-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

Mz : Initial moment about the Z-axis, which will be increased by the related factors defined in the Pushover Load - Pushover Case object.

Element [Girder Top Flange/Girder Bottom Flange/Deck/Foundation/Pier Cap and Bents]: OpenBrIM assigns the defined point loads to the selected element nodes based on their distance. If there is no node at the exact location, it is assigned to the nearest nodes based on distance.
