moving load (truck/car) model in 3D model structure

moving load (truck/car) model in 3D model structure

RE: moving load (truck/car) model in 3D model structure

If you have Plus or Advanced level, you can define your own vehicle and define your lanes on or offset from existing frame elements which will transfer to meshed finite elements. If that doesn't work for you, you will then have to define multiple live load cases then assign your moving truck one step at a time using joint, distributed and/or area loads for each truck location on the wharf.  

RE: moving load (truck/car) model in 3D model structure

(OP)
i already figured out with using point/dirtibuted/area load, but it costs more time to make the load model and the combos..
i interested more in making lanes for this moving load.
I expect more tips for this, how will the structure reacts to the moving load aplied on the lanes?
Is it only distributed to frame which the lanes offsetted or is it distributed to the whole structure?
Thanks for the previous tip :)
