ASSIGNING AREA LOADS
ASSIGNING AREA LOADS
(OP)
Hello,
Does anybody know how should I apply loads to an area that is defined as Membrane?
My doubt arises because as I said before I define the area section as Membrane and in the Assign Area Loads Menu, the option for assigning uniform load has 'Shell' in parenthesis. It makes me think it's supposed to be used with areas defined as Shell only.
Thank you in advance,

The deflections will be significant large but you can ignore them. The mdoel will run without arithmetic errors.
