Horizontal moving load
Horizontal moving load
(OP)
Hi, all
I am designing a warehouse with overhead crane.
I want to add the loads from the crane as moving loads with influence lines. The problem is that I can't see option to add horizontal forces in the vehicle definition, nor in the load case definition. Is there any option to define horizontal vehicle loads?
Thanks in advance!

RE: Horizontal moving load
I was just wondering, why there is no function to make influence lines for horizontal forces in SAP2000.

As you could see, I asked this question also. But I think it could be possible if you try next: you can rotate local axes of the crane beam, and then try to apply the load. I don't know if it works or not.

I found another solution. I loaded every frame with vertical and horizontal forces - different load case for every loaded portal frame and then made an envelope combination from these load cases. In this case every position of the crane in the building is considered.
