# StructuralPointActionFree ## Free point load The Free point load is related to slabs. The load is not defined by the entity it acts on, but by a specific load point. Free loads are defined by means of "loading entities" that may overlap or affect one or more slabs. ![](https://2984879901-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FP3f3I86mz7TGPX0pWLAB%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-747ea4ff4aaa03123fd2f4493e63770f11e25171%2F38_structuralpointactionfree.png?alt=media) ### Specification in the excel | Name of the column header | Type of data | Value example or enum definition | Required value | Description | | ------------------------- | ------------ | :-----------------------------------: | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | String | FF1 | yes | Human readable unique name of the force | | Type | String | Standard | no | This property defines what the load is caused by, E.g.

Vector

| yes |

Specifies the base direction of the load

X, Y, Z - action will be applied in one of these directions
