StructuralPointMoment

Moment force in node/on beam

A node or a beam of the structure may be subject to a moment load. The load is defined by the direction and size of the moment and in case of the moment force on beam it can be repeated along the member.

Specification in the excel

Name of the column header	Type of data	Value example or enum definition	Required value	Description
Name	String	PF3	yes	Human readable unique name of the force
Type	String	Standard	no	This property defines what the load is caused by, E.g. Standard, Wind, Snow, Self weight, Hoar Frost, Predefined, Plane Load, Water Pond, Water Pressure, Soil Pressure, Generated Water, Generated Soil
Direction	Enum	Mx My Mz	yes	Specifies the base direction of the load
Force action	Enum	On beam In node	yes	Specifies on which type of object the force acts
Reference node	String	N3	yes if Force action = In node	The name of the reference node
Reference member	String	B1	yes if Force action =On beam	The name of the reference beam
Value [kNm]	Double	-10	yes	Specifies the size of the load in kiloNewtonmeters.
Load case	String	LC5	yes	The name of the load case to which the force belongs
Coordinate system	Enum	Global Local	yes	Defines co-ordinate system in which the load is applied
Origin	Enum	From start From end	yes, if Force action = On beam	Specifies where the origin for the position co-ordinate measurement is
Coordinate definition	Enum	Absolute Relative	yes, if Force action = On beam	Specifies the definition of the position. It may be absolute or relative
Position x [m]	Double	value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 5,25 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 1,0	yes, if Force action = On beam	Defines the position of the load on the 1D member in local coordinate system in relative or in absolute coordinates [m]
Repeat (n)	Integer	1	yes, if Force action = On beam	Defines the number of forces acting on the beam. If the number is greater than 1, the forces are distributed uniformly over the 1D member
Delta x [m]	Double	0,3	yes, if Repeat (n) > 1	Defines the distance between forces acting on the 1D member in relative or in absolute coordinates [m] (only applicable when ForceAction=OnBeam)
Id	String	39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39	no	Unique attribute designation
