Linearly Distributed Element Load

[cslotboom]

I'm curious if there is any way of doing a linearly varying load in OpenSees. My understanding is no right now, but I could have missed something.
Linearly varying loads are seen a lot in foundations, and it would be fun to use OpenSeesPy for this design task.
