AddLoads
2D/3D

• AddLoads is an option for SetLoads that specifies whether the supplied loads are to replace the existing load vector or be added to the existing load vector.

• AddLoads->True causes SetLoads to add the specified loads to the loads that are currently set.
• Errant load settings can be induced with AddLoads->True by accidentally running SetLoads more than once with the same loads, thereby multiplying their magnitude.
• The default setting is AddLoads->False.
• See also: Force, Moment.
