Just some question about the way to input load and material.
-Can I input many different concrete material into Etab such as 25MPa, 0MPa,40MPa and 50MPa concrete and steel and timber ? It look like Etab default only 1 concrete and 2 steel materials only. I cannot add more material.
-Can I input line load and point load onto a shell element ?
I dont see any function in menu to help you to input line load onto shell element.
Do you other way to do it by creating point or line element ?

Thanks.

For line or point load onto a shell, you can add a dummy line member with no properties (set properties to NONE) and apply loads to the line element.

You should be able to add an unlimited number of materials if the model is unlocked.
 
Thanks Agents,

Btw, Can I do same thing for applying area loads using a plate element with no property (set properties to NONE)?
