I would like to know how it is distributed to the corner members when using the surfaceload function. I wonder how the load distributed between the two corners that are close to the vertex where they intersect and the middle of the corner.
Above question assumed that I'm defining a surface just to put a load on it, ignoring its out-of-plane rigidity.
In addition to this, I would like to know if I add stiffness of the surface itself, is it make difference with load distribution within this function.
If you have any reference materials to explain the load distribution algorithm of the function, please let me know.
How the load is distributed to the members of the corners if I use the surfaceload function?

Could you please post a sketch? I don't fully understand the scenarioI would like to know how it is distributed to the corner members when using the surfaceload function.

If you want to consider the physical stiffness (membrane and bending), you have to make a shell for the slab and assign a pressure load (FaceForce)Above question assumed that I'm defining a surface just to put a load on it, ignoring its out-of-plane rigidity.
