Resultant Load

Analysis > Loads > Resultant Load

This tool is used to calculate resultant components of force and moment of a set of loads about a point.

Description

The components of moment will be calculated based on the point input and the coordinate system selected. The point input is assumed in global coordinate system. Loads column will list the pressure and force. Loads (pressure and force), which are based on local coordinate system will also be listed. User can move a set of pressure and force from Loads column to the Loads Subset column and calculate the resultant force and moment about a point.

Show resultant marker only

Turn On this check box enables “Marker Color”, it is used to give unique color for each resultant load markers. By default, it is OFF.

Retain load resultant marker

Turn ON this check box will retain all the previous load resultant markers.

Turn OFF this, will display the current load resultant marker only.

Capture Image

User can capture the image of load resultant marker (along with body) and save it. Once the user captures the image, all the load resultant marker will get deleted.
