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

Scan&Solve provides several different load options to apply to a model, organized into two groups: [[wiki:sns:sns2014:surface loads|surface loads]] and [[wiki:sns:sns2014:body loads|body loads]].

The following types of [[wiki:sns:sns2014:surface loads|surface loads]] are available:
  * [[wiki:sns:sns2014:surface_loads#Vector Force|Vector Force (x,y,z components)]]
  * [[wiki:sns:sns2014:surface_loads#Vector Force|Vector Force (specify direction and magnitude)]]
