My problem is that I have to apply linearly increasing loads to the curved arc line for a static structural analysis. Does anyone have experience with this and can help me further to define linear loads on a curved line with a script?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Flo<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/06-03-2023-1678108278-2D-Modell ANSYS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"739\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-252709","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["277214","88"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.44.170.21"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["952"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["252709"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27818"],"_bbp_engagement":["88","277214"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["253057"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["253057"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-03-08 13:18:21"]},"test":"florian-klauckemailbox-tu-dresden-de"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/252709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/252709\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
