I understand that, but what exactly do I specify as the applied loads? Is it the locally applied loads? If I'm using combinations loads SAP2000 doesn't seem to have a way of showing what the resultant loads are for each shell area, so how can I know what the applied load is for a specific shell...
Hello,
I'm not sure what I should be comparing my buckling results to. What is the definition of the scale factor? I understand it is the buckling load in comparison to the applied load, but my loads vary along the model and it's an tri-axial ellipsoid. So how can I understand which applied...
I have to apply wind pressures to a curved surface, but I'm unsure how to use the two options to apply the load. It would vary parabolically both in the x and z direction along the curved surface. Any ideas?
Thanks
