Peculiar Result with SurfaceLoad Element

Post by dks »

I dont know if anyone who used surfaceloadelement to generate pressure load on brick element has come across the fact that opensees is analyzing the surface load even before the surface load pattern is created. I just declared the surfaceload elements and used analyze to analyze something else, but it was recording the effect of surface loads too. I dont understand why is it happening
