I have received a request to insert some uniform loads on pipes. My problem is that I have to insert forces but also moments(!) as this uniform forces (weight) are eccentric placed (some pipe shield).
I think is not possible at this time. I will have to think about but maybe someone has some idea.
Other question that I have is if I connect some plates on the pipes (in structural module) and I will apply wind load, would the wind act also on the plates? If not, the way that I see is to insert an insulation with adjusted weight and with increased shape factor as the shield is flat.
