Contour load with no slab. how to delete.

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Just a simple one. Once contour loads are created on slabs and slabs are deleted, contorul loads are "hanging in space"  What's the right way to delete them? Thanks.

In addition, sometimes I noticed that the load can "reappear" after a new generation model, actually when not really deleted by graphic means. In this case -> loads table and delete it directly in the table. (Need to be careful to select the proper load to delete as you don't have any element to recognize the countour load except the value of the loads and the coordinates of the contour when you tick the button in the table, usually before going into the table I write the coordinates of one corner in order to be sure I'm deleting the proper one).

Do you mean that you delete the load but it is not deleted? Do you have such example?

To be precise : if you delete by graphic means the uniform contour loads, the load is deleted but the contour is not, so when re-generating the model, robot recreates a cladding mathcing the remaining contour woth no load.

I have such example but it is in a so huge model, I'll make a smaller example to illustrate.

I think that it is due to the fact that contour is not "linked" to the load, same subject than nodes of bars aren't linked to pannel contour so when you move a point, the pannel does'nt follow ..

Here it is :

image 1 : create contour load

image 2 : after setting load value to 0 by graphic means (=deleting it)  + moving pannel away, the contour still exists and Robot creates a cladding during the next model generation.

I'd say that on the movie I indicated the load is actaully deleted in the different way 🙂
