Hi,

I have an OpenSTAAD program that generates groups and that applies loads to the elements/beams/nodes in those groups.

However I'd like to apply the load to the group directly using openSTAAD as you can in the STAAD Command File?

What I want to achieve in the command file is this:

_DOMED_WKWAY PR GY -1

What I am getting is this:

1232 1236 TO 1240 1246 TO 1249 1487 1495 1501 TO 1512 1649 1652 -
1653 1656 TO 1658 1661 1663 PR GY -1

Using groups would mean whenever the groups are updated so would all the positions in which the loads are applied. I want to only update the group as the group is used in hundreds of places.

Hope You can help.

Best Regards,

Tom
