Example 2
An alternative method is to use a CAD line to locate the center of the mechanical load.
1. Add a CAD Line at the Center of mechanical load location
2. Continue to add the mechanical Load following step 1 through 7 above with one
exception. In step 5 select the intersection of the bottom chord and the CAD line as the
center of the mechanical load instead of the peak of the truss. Results are shown
below.
