Use this tool to create and review pressure loads on 1D elements that are fully or partially loaded. It can also be used to edit or review the PLOAD1 cards imported from a solved Natran or OptiStruct data file.                        

Inputs are 1D elements and the start/finish local parametric values and the pressure at those points (start and end pressures).

Load type indicates the direction (FX, FY, FZ, and so on) and the Scale factor determines if it is based on parametric (fraction-FR) or based on actual length (LE).    

This image shows a partially loaded 1D beam. The load is applied between 0.3 and 0.6 local u values.
