Point Plane Load Type – MIDAS Support

1. Description

This component operates the Define Plane Load Type function in Civil NX.
Define types and magnitudes of Plane Loads. The Plane Loads defined by this feature are applied to the structure through the Assign Plane Loads feature. The Plane Loads can be applied to any specific locations on plate and solid elements, which constitute an analysis model. This capability alleviates the cumbersome tasks of locating nodes where loads are applied. The defined loads are converted into nodal loads based on the stiffness of the plate and solid elements and applied to the contiguous nodes.

The Define Plane Load Type funtion can be found in the Civil NX main menu,select [Load] tab > [Static Loads(Type)] group > [Pressure Load] group > [Assign Plane Loads] menu > [Define Plane Load Type] > [Point] Load Type
