Surface Load (on wall face) [RW]

Applies a distributed pressure to the stem face or to the top of the footing of a wall segment.

General

Wall Segment: The wall segment the load is applied to.

Stage: Construction stage at which the load is applied.

Loaded Face [Stem (vertical)=0/Footing Top (horizontal)=1]: Selects which surface the pressure acts on — the vertical stem face or the horizontal top of the footing (default: Stem (vertical)=0).

Variation [Uniform=0/Linear=1]: Whether the pressure is constant over the face or varies linearly across it (default: Uniform=0).

Magnitude (top / start). For Stem: at TOW. For Footing: at toe side.: Pressure at the start of the variation — at the top of wall for a stem load, or at the toe side for a footing load (default: 0).

Magnitude (bottom / end). Used only when Variation=Linear.: Pressure at the end of the variation. Applicable only when Variation is Linear (default: 0).

Load Direction [Normal to face (inward)=0/Gravity (-Z global)=1]: Direction the pressure acts in — perpendicular to the loaded face, or vertically downward in global coordinates (default: Normal to face (inward)=0).
