Simple Frame analysis question

[mfurches]

I am trying to understand how inventor sees a continuous load. In the picture i have applied a continuous load of 50lb per inch to each of the 4 top beams. the beams are 96" long each for a total of 384" .  384" x 50lb =19,200 lbs of load. Is that the way inventor calculates it? as if i am sitting a static load of 19,200 lbs evenly distributed between the 4 beams?

Hi! Yes, you are correct. That is the way the load is understood by Inventor.

Many thanks!
