Planar load on contour is copied but not visible

[Mirko.Jurcevic]

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I have planar load on contour defined on one panel (that panel already had uniform planar load, this is an addition). I've copied that panel (whole level) to lower stories and I ran into some problems.

1. It was very hard to locate that uniform planar load on contour in table, I was changing force values until I noticed (in graphic display) that I am changing the right one. (it shoud be 2,0, but I've changed it to 2,13 so I can find it).

2. I've noticed in table that this load is applied to all of the panels I've made copy from initial one (marked with "1"), but that load is nowhere to bee seen on that panels (in graphical sense).

3. When I "Edit in new window" just one level, I get graphical display of planar load on contour, but it is not on the panel.

Bug, or maybe I am doing something wrong?

I am attaching two images and a model.

Yes, thanks, I know about that solution, but in that way I need to add loads everywhere later. That a workaround and I will do it that way.

What I wanted is to create a characteristic floor and copy it several times, but, as you could see, I ran into some problems. Why Robot act in that way, is unclear to me.

Contours of loads are not copied with the panels. This is the limitation of all these types of loads. 

If you want to have the load applied to the vertically copied panel you need to unmark the automatic detection of panels in the load contour plane and replace it with the list of panels and the vertical direction of the contour projection.
