Parameter command for loads

Post by lorcancon »

Hi all,

I was wondering about the parameter command for assigning random variables to loads. It seems that some of the commands to assign load parameters do not apply to certain elements in 3D. For example, the element line load parameter does not seem to relate to linear elastic elements in 3D.

Would there be any documentation which lists the elements for which the reliability functions are applicable?

Regards,
Lorcan.

After a brief look at the source code. It appears that element loading cannot be applied as a parameter in 3D, for any element type. Will this ever be a possibility?

Thanks,
Lorcan.
