Load.AddMemberConcMoment BeamNo, Direction, MomentValue, D1Value, D2Value Load.AddMemberConcMoment BeamNoArray, Direction, MomentValue, D1Value, D2Value 

Where:

BeamNo

Integer variable providing the beam number.

BeamNoArray

Integer variable array providing the beam numbers.

Direction

Integer variable giving the direction of load: X direction = 1, Y direction = 2, Z direction = 3, GX direction = 4, GY direction = 5, GZ direction = 6, PX direction = 7, PY direction = 7, PZ direction = 8.

MomentValue
