Uniform planar loads on contour

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I am applying wind loads using panels (claddings) the "uniform planar loads on contour" tool. I would like to do this by defining in MS Excel the loads and copying them to Robot rather than doing it directly in the Robot.

What's the way for doing this? The "contour definition" is only a cell in the table and cannot define the points of the contour.

Thanks a lot, regards,

Hi @Anonymous,

I suppose copy-paste will not help you with this task. I would suggest to use macro in this case.

Thanks!

is there anything already done on this? and perhaps some basic steps, I'm not familiar with macros yet.
