how do i obtain the equivalent nodal loads for a linear strain triangle when the udl is positioned bw the 1st and 2nd nodes? that is it does not start from the 1st node and it does not extend up to the 2nd node. and two: the lod begins somewhere after the 1st node goes over the middle node but stops or terminates before the 3rd node? i'm confused on how to use the local integration formular, what the limits shold be and so on. thanks
