====== Loads ======

Scan&Solve provides several different load options to apply to a model, organized into two groups: [[surface loads]] and [[body loads]].

The following types of [[surface loads]] are available:
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Vector Force|Vector Force]] (x,y,z components)
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Vector Force|Vector Force]] (specify direction and magnitude)
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Scalar Force|Scalar Force]]
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Pressure|Pressure]]
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Pressure Expression|Pressure Expression]]
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Hydrostatic|Hydrostatic]]
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:surface_loads#Torque|Torque]]

The following types of [[body loads]] are available:
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:body loads#Gravitational Loads|Gravitational Loads]]
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:body loads#Rotational Body Loads|Rotational Body Loads]]
  * [[wiki:sns:snspro:body loads#Linear Acceleration Body Loads|Linear Acceleration Body Loads]]
