Eliptical Load Shape

[ByrnePM]

Hi, has anyone come up with a way to apply a load that is eliptical in shape i.e. a Uniform Planar Load on eliptical contour?

Very nice Rafal !

Always learning ...

[ByrnePM]

Excellent, Spot on, thanks

Looked great but I still cant seem to do the trick after you drew the circle, tab doesnt seem to do anything for me when trying to select the squares to extend the circle,

maybe I'm missing something?

[Rafal.Gaweda]

TAB toggles between selections - in this case selecting bar \ node or red square (red boundary line).
You need to drag "red square"

Elipse is made from circle by bars only.

Thanks,

Is there an option to do this without TAB as unfortunately its still not working 😕

[Rafal.Gaweda]

Make a few attempts by clicking somewhere inside red square...

same here , but just zoom it to the red square and it will select it and drag it

[Rafal.Gaweda]

See this:

press several times TAB key until red border lines start to be displayed in blue, then click inside square and drag

or click on red border line near the square and drag
