Is it possible to apply a line load to mesh nodes in Karamba3D?

Grasshopper Karamba3D

I created a mesh from a surface using the “Mesh Breps” component in order to perform FEM analysis with Karamba3D, as shown in the image.

I would like to apply a line load in the Z direction to the nodes circled in blue in the image.
Is this not possible when working with a mesh?

If it is not possible, do I need to apply the line load individually to each point?

If there is a smart way to achieve this, I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Hi, it is not possible to apply a line load onto a mesh, it can only be applied as point loads, either directly as a load or generated from a mesh load.

Matthew Tam,

I understand the specification now. I will try to reproduce it using point loads.

Thank you as always for your great support.
