LineLoad - PLAXIS 2D Input objects documentation

LineLoad

Line load feature of a line.
Property Long name Unit Description
Name Name - Name of the LineLoad.
Comments Comments - Comments on the LineLoad.
LineLoad Line load -
Uniform
Load value is constant over the entire line.
Linear
Load value changes linearly along the line.
Perpendicular
Load value is perpendicular.
Perpendicular vertical increment
Load value is perpendicular with a vertical increment.
q_x,start,ref qx,start,ref F/L x-component of the load at the start of a line when it is set to either uniform or linear.
q_y,start,ref qy,start,ref F/L y-component of the load at the start of a line when it is set to either uniform or linear.
q_start,ref |qstart,ref| F/L Absolute value of the load at the start of a line when it is set to either uniform or linear.
