Define load path function not available

jsk236YARVK — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:33:08 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to define a load path in Robot as per the tutorial [https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-define-route-while-moving-load-definition-in-Robot-Structural-Analysis.html#:~:text=Open%20Loads%20%3ESpecial%20loads%3E%20Moving.&text=Click%20Define%20option.,%2Dclick%20last%20defined%20point).] (as I need to introduce some line loads to mimic partition walls, as these are along a surface and not a member), but when I open Loads > Special Loads, there is no moving option available.

Is this a new update or is there a way I can toggle this on? Or is there another way of introducing line loads across certain parts of a surface for this purpose.

Thanks in advance!

hi @jsk236YARVK

you have probably defined this type of structure, choose instead a 3d Frame or a shell structure

Best Regards

Additionally , you can still use moving loads on Building design structure type . Just add it on Tools/Customize menus/Loads/special loads , click on moving to make it green

then moving loads will be available
