problem in eleload command

Post by k.manoj »

Dear Dr. Silvia

I cannot use eleload command for the elements where corotational transfomation is specified.
However, I can apply the uniform load as point loads at the ends of the element.
Is there any better way?

Thank you in advance

ele loads are not taken into account when using corotational .. at the moment you have to use fixed end forces as you suggest.
