Cladding problem
1- Not sure if it is this what you´re asking but there´s 2 possible distributions . One way or 2 way.
2- Not that I know . Maybe Artur or Rafal ...
3- My opinion . Claddings are good for loads distributed on the whole cladding area . For partially distributed , linear and concentrated loads it can lead to very wrong results , because the distribution is based on tributary areas . So if the a concentrated load is inside an area , the whole force will go to just to the closest edge/side of the cladding . Better explained on the picture below
4-claddings work normally with moving loads , but be aware of what I explained above

Well, did some tests and I found out some interesting things .
Claddings have no influence on the way the load is distributed to the beams . Load will be distributed proportional to the distance to the beams .
For a concentrated load ,it´s better to have 10 bars with 1m length , instead of a 10m beam . Below picture explains it better
You can see by the generated loads and the beams resulting bending moments that dividing the bar in 10 pieces produces a more realistic results scenario
The interesting thing is that a "shell type" structure will not allow a vehicle with linear or surface loads if there is not a meshed panel.
But a Frame 3d structure type will allow a vehicle with linear load(no surprise here) . And even a surface load vehicle will generate loads on bars although the help file says that only a vehicle with concentrated and/or linear loads will generate loads for this structure type (bars)
Below , planar load vehicle on 3d frame structure type
claddings have no influence on this . Loads from vehicle will be generated even if cladding is deleted.

It depends much more on how your structure carry the load to the main girders. Load will only be totally concentrated on the main girders if there are transversal beams carrying the load to them. But then , You should select these transversal bars ,instead ,to be loaded on "application plane"
Play with "tolerance" ,experiment it yourself. See the results , analyse!

Defining a vehicle with two half of the value loads with certain space between them and set the 'right' tolerance?
