Apply a triangular load on elements

[Ziad]

I am building a structure on openseespy. Everything is in order, I have been able to apply a distributed load:
op.eleLoad('-ele', 1, '-type', '-beamUniform', -Wx, 0.0, 0.0).

I wanted to know how can I apply a Triangular distributed load. For example, Load experienced by soil.

Hello, Are you applying the load on quad elements (soil)? I want to apply a distributed load on soil surface. Does this approach work?

Thanks for your help in advance!

No, I am applying soil load concrete elements, and now shell elements (Trying to).
