Loads

Loads on Brick elements must be input as nodal loads.

The self weight of Bricks may be calculated automatically if material weight densities and self weight multiplier are nonzero.  By default, the self weight acts in the negative global Y direction.  You may however change the direction to positive or negative direction of the global X, Y or Z.  To activate automatic self weight calculation, use the command Create > Draw Loads > Self Weights.
