"H-load distribution" refers to the distribution of loads on a horizontal plane, particularly in civil engineering or structural design. These loads can be caused by buildings, bridges, or other structures and need to be distributed evenly and securely onto the supporting structures to ensure structural integrity and stability.
Typical functions of software in the "H-load distribution" domain are:
Load calculation: The software allows for the calculation of horizontal loads exerted by various building components or structures based on applied load assumptions and standards.
Load distribution: It supports the distribution of calculated loads onto the supporting structures to ensure they are evenly and appropriately distributed across the components.
Structural analysis: The software conducts structural analyses to ensure that the supporting elements are adequately sized to withstand the horizontal loads acting on them.
Structure optimization: It enables structure optimization to achieve efficient distribution of horizontal loads and minimize material or construction costs.
Visualization: The software provides tools for visualizing load distributions and structural stresses to give engineers and designers better insight into structural integrity.
