LineLoads

Line load applied to an edge -- distributed force per unit length along the selected edge(s). Supports constant or linearly-varying distributions.

Examples

feature = model.get_line_load(shapes)
feature.load_direction = 'z'
feature.load_type = 'unfavourable'
feature.value = 10.0

# Apply multiple changes in a single network call:

with feature.batch():
    feature.load_direction = 'z'
    feature.load_type = 'unfavourable'
    feature.value = 10.0
