Tables > Area Loads prompts you with the following dialog.
It allows you to enter member area loads in a spreadsheet. Each area load includes four node IDs, the load coordinate system, direction, load distribution, and load magnitude. The area load may be in global X, Y or Z direction, or in local Z direction. The four nodes form a quadrilateral load area and must be in the same plane. Node-4 may also be the same as Node-1, in which case the load area is a triangle. Area loads in one or all load cases may be converted to lines loads in their respective load cases.
An empty row is allowed if all rows below it are empty. Selected rows (whole row must be selected) may be cut by clicking the button “Cut Selected Rows”.
