    Load on projected area - Shells

    Since I am studying instability problems, the way you suggested is not applicable. It seems really strange that it is not possible to set a snow load ... simpler and less advanced fem software have this option.

    Load on projected area - Shells

    Yes, it is possible to use the surface traction load, but the load is always applied to the reference surface and not on its horizontal projection. It is still applied to the surface even using the advanced options to set the loads.

    Load on projected area - Shells

    I am working on loads such as snow load, and I was wondering how it is achievable to assign a uniform horizontal projected load to a spherical shell (i.e. not applied to the reference surface)?
