Surface load
Defines actions on surfaces – plates, walls. The surface load is defined on the whole slab automatically. If only a part of the main slab is supposed to be subject to this load, a subregion (StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion) must be defined inside the main slab.
| Column header | Data type | Example / enum definition | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | String | PF3 | yes | Human readable unique name of the force |
| Direction | Enum | X Y Z |
yes | Specifies the base direction of the load |
| Type | String | Standard | no | This property defines what the load is caused by, E.g. Standard, Wind, Snow, Self weight, Hoar Frost, Predefined, Plane Load, Water Pond, Water Pressure, Soil Pressure, Generated Water, Generated Soil |
| Force action | Enum | On 2D member On 2D member region On 2D member distribution |
yes | Specifies on which type of object the load acts |
| Value [kN/m2] | Double | -10 | yes | Specifies the size of the load in kiloNewtons per square meter. |
| 2D Member | String | S15 | yes, if Force action = On 2D member | The name of the StructuralSurfaceMember to which is the surface load related to |
| 2D Member Region | String | R1 | yes, if Force action = On 2D member region | The name of the StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion to which is the surface load related to |
| 2D Member Distribution | String | FL1 | yes, if Force action = On 2D member distribution | The name of StructuralSurfaceActionDistribution to which is the surface load related to |
| Load case | String | LC5 | yes | The name of StructuralLoadCase the load case to which the force belongs |
| Coordinate system | Enum | Global Local |
yes | Defines the coordinate system in which the load is defined. For 'Local': the coordinate system is defined by the member on which the load is applied. |
| Location | Enum | Length Projection |
yes | Specifies whether the load is "put directly on an inclined 2D member" or whether the "projection on plan" is defined.For the ‘Local’ coordinate system, the only applicable option is ‘Length’. For the ‘Global’ coordinate system choose between ‘Length’ and ‘Projection’. |
| Parent ID | String | 67b35d84-3d04-47aa-aa4a-dc1263982320 | no | Is filled for objects created be dividing curved geometry to series of straight line objects. To ensure successful round trip of segmented objects and their related objects, Parent ID needs to be present in both directions. |
| Id | String | 39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39 | no | Unique attribute designation |
