Horizontal Forces from Vertical Forces

Horizontal Forces from Vertical Forces

Horizontal Forces from Vertical Forces

(OP)
I have many Joint Loads > Forces (LOAD1) applied in the direction -z (vertical). However I need create horizontal loads (LOAD2) that is = 0,5xLOAD1 applied in the same joints in the direction y.
How I can do this without create the horizontal forces one by one?

RE: Horizontal Forces from Vertical Forces

You can use a lateral load (Define->Load Patterns) and choose the "User Coefficient" option.
