The software allows considering (only for the F.E.M. analysis method) forces and moments like concentrated loads acting upon the bulkhead.
For a correct definition of a concentrated force, it is necessary to define the following data:
| • | Description: This information identifies the force with a name; its insertion is necessary for the purposes of its identification in the combinations of loads. |
| • | Type: This information identifies the type and direction along which the force acts. To choose amongst the following types of loads: |
| o | Fz, expressed in kN/m. It is a vertical force, whose direction is thus coincident with the vertical reference axis |
| o | Fx, expressed in kN/m. It is a horizontal force whose direction is coincident with the horizontal reference axis contained in the drawing plane |
| o | Fy, expressed in kN/m. It is a horizontal force whose direction is coincident with the reference axis orthogonal to the drawing plane |
| o | Mx, expressed in kNm/m. It is a moment whose axis vector is the horizontal reference axis contained in the drawing plane |
| o | My, expressed in kNm/m. It is a moment whose axis vector is the reference axis orthogonal t the drawing plane |
| • | z: Expressed in m. It is the level at which the application point of the force (or moment) is positioned. |
| • | Value: It is the value corresponding to the intensity of the force. The sign agrees with the global reference system; it is expressed in kN/m (for the forces) or in kNm/m (for the moments). |
| • | Color: It is the color used to view the drawing of the force. |
| • | ID: It is an identification index of the force. |
