I have an FD model over a floor and I’m going to load it with a point load.
The point load can end up anywhere on the floor and I’m trying to find the maximum internal forces where I’ve considered all possible placements. I think it’s like a moving load that travels over the entire floor but I thought I’d try to do it with API so that I get almost all elements and nodes included. The idea is to compare the results between two floors where one is intact and the other has been modified.
I’ve tried to start with something here. Do you have any tips on how to proceed or maybe some webinars that would help a little.

So far it seems correct.
Are you maybe looking to add several points on a model next?
What do you think is missing in your workflow?
Have a look at our documentation 
webpage which have examples/explainations on several aspect of our API
Hi Marco Thx for replying.
I have extracted the node points to a list.
What I think I need to is:
- Is to loop through the list with all the nods. Should I use
- Loop the analysis and extract internal force data for each point.
- The if I get i to work, Ill need to change the point load to a 1 square meter surface load. Because the load in “reality” is not a single node point load.
I will get back to you,

It makes sense. I am a bit afraid that “looping” will get a large amount of time but it would work.
As a suggestion, have you considered in creating several point loads (with different load cases) and run them all at the same time?
Ok. Yes, that would work. Thx

Hi, again.
Thx for the help earlyer. I did something like this.
Ehi @IvanAP
It looks promising.
Is it working? Do you need a feedback or some help?
