Not-uniform Temperature on Shell

Hi there,
I am trying to analyze a gradient temperature load on a concrete shell and I have one question:

  • is it possible? DeltaT input of the temperature load component says: “local beam axis”

thanks,
Marco

Hi @mp1,
it is possible. See ‘InitialCurvatureLoad_Shell_Arc.gh’ in the K3D examples folder: ‘Rhino 7\Plug-ins\Karamba\Examples\TestExamples\02_Load\InitialCurvatureLoad’. Temperature gradient and curvature load are basically the same except for the alphaT factor.
Thanks for the hint regarding the helptext!
