ST7-1.50.30.3 Load Patches for Area Load
Area Load (or Floor Load), as referred to by some other engineering software packages, is equivalent to Load Patches in Strand7. In this Webnote we look at how load patches can be applied to model these situations. However, since the patch plates in Strand7 are very flexible, they can also be applied to non-planar meshes in 3D space; some examples are illustrated in this Webnote.
The following structure is provided:
A floor live load of 30 kPa is to be applied to the structure. Open the...
