Currently, when applying a varying load (such as trapezoidal or triangular loads) across a continuous beam that contains intermediate joints, SACS does not automatically distribute the load to those internal joints. Users must manually break down and calculate the load segments for each individual beam member between the joints.
Introduce a feature that allows users to apply a single, continuous varying load from the start to the end of a physical beam line. The software should automatically calculate and distribute the equivalent member loads or joint loads to all intermediate joints and segments in between.
This automation will significantly reduce manual calculation time, minimize human error, and streamline the modeling workflow for structural engineers dealing with complex, multi-jointed beam systems.
