vertical load

[zhwang]

To whom it may concern,

I have a beam connected by node N1 and N2. Is that possible to apply a vertical load in the middle point of this beam? If yes, how to apply this load? Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Summer

You may subdivide the beam element in the Element Connectivity module. Select the beam element, click on the subdivide button and select to subdivide it in two elements. After this procedure a node at the middle point of the beam will have been introduced, so you may assign the load you want.
