Can you provide more explanation for your problem?

Anyway,

I have had a problem with eleLoad a while ago, but it ultimately worked with me:

Is there a way to attach pics with this message? I'll try to attach a print-screen.

It is not possible. You can try to explain the problem or, if possible, copy the line of code that has the problem, and I will try to help you.

It looks like you are applying the distributed load along the element axis (x local axis), you should apply it in y or z

Yes, I just noticed that. The load is applied at the local x-axis.
