Create_PwForces
Purpose
set up equivalent nodal forces due to uniform element loading w
Synopsis
Pw = Create_PwForces (Model,ElemData)
Description
CREATE_PWFORCES set up equivalent nodal forces due to uniform element loading w PW = CREATE_PWFORCES (MODEL,ELEMDATA) the function sets up the vector of equivalent nodal forces PW due to uniform element loading w; model information is supplied in data structure MODEL, and the magnitude of w is supplied for each element in field W of ELEMDATA
