Applying distributed moment to BarElement #46

Closed darrenmjones closed 4 years ago

darrenmjones commented 4 years ago

Hi, is it possible to apply a moment as a uniform load along an element ? I want to analyse the effects of differential temperature through the depth of a beam. The BriefFiniteElementNet.Loads.UniformLoad only allows a XYZ vector, no moments.

Hi, There is not yet implementation of distributed moments, but there are some for concentrated moments. Maybe you can use multiple concentrated loads to get something near the distributed moment.

Thank you. I think I could apply node moments at each end of the beam and then subtract those moments from the analysis ones to give the secondary moments.
