Topic: Surface load on plane /cctplate elements

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding surface loads on the cctplate elements:
in the manual it says that the boundary loads are not supported at the moment.
So to apply a surface load, I have to use bodyloads and use the material density or the "components" parameter to simulate the surface load, right?
Or is there any simpler way to apply the surface loads? Is it planned to implement the "regular" boundary loads to this element?

Thank u for ur answers.

Hi Denis,
thank you. We have added support for surface load for cct element. You should check out the latest git version. You can check tests/sm/patch_cct_02.in illustrating the use.
