Hi,

I am trying to create a load that acts on a simple system, however the load travels across the surface of the system.
For example:

Having a man walking across a bridge. In this case, for each nodal points on the bridge, it is experiencing an instantaneous load.

How can I model this in FEMAP? any tips that I can work about it?

Please advice.

Thank you.

Regards,
Chin
