Same variable load to multiple surfaces [SOLVED]

Help
1

Hi,

I need to apply the same variable load to multiple surfaces. Is this possible without using multiple “SurfaceLoad.Variable”-components? If yes, how should I structure my input data? When I open the model the force is only applied to the first surface, see picture.

I also have problem with the “Model.Open”-component that gives the error message “1. Solution exception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”. Any ideas of what might be wrong here?

Hi @lena.allgurin

It looks like that you need to “flatten” the surface load output or flatten the loads input.

To open the model in FEM-Design, I do suggest you to start using FemDesignConnection.

Have a look at the documentation

if it does not work, attach a .gh file and I will be able to help you out :slight_smile:
