Localize

  • The basic load values in the active load report may be recalculated into linear or point load with the help of this button. The recalculation is done according to the specified loading width or loading area. Resulting values are displayed in kN/m or kN. Localization type and the needed parameters has to be specified in the window "Load localization".

The load report with load values written in the roof scheme may be non-transparent for more complicated roofs. In that cases, the setting "Values of wind load on roof in table" in the main application window may be used. The Roof scheme will contain also region marks, load values will be organized in the table under the roof scheme.
