This section defines surface loads for wearing surface and formwork.
Step 1: Define Load Surface Geometry
Navigate to Load Geometry Definitions > Surface > Quadrilateral in the tree view.
Click the three-dot icon on the Bridge cell and set BRG1.
Enter surface dimensions:
Step 2: Define Surface Loads
Navigate to Loads > Surface Load.
Click the three-dot icon in the Surface cell and set LS1 to identify the construction stages that have a surface load.
Step 3: Assign Construction Stages
Click the three-dot icon on the Stage cell and assign stages:
FutureWearLoad: FutureWearingStage
SIPLoadLeft: SIPFormworkStage
SIPLoadRight: SIPFormworkStage
Step 4: Enter Load Magnitudes
Enter the magnitudes of the surface loads to be applied.
Step 5: Set Element Stage
Set the Element's stage, which indicates which surface load will be applied to each surface.
All surface loads should be properly defined with appropriate stages and magnitudes.
