Hi, my understanding to the Surface load is that, correct me if i am wrong, the load will not be transferred to the structural member whereas the floor load is the load you can applied to the structure due to floor loading that isnt the part of the structure. However, I am not so sure about the Plate and Area loads. Can anyone tell the differences between the Area, Floor, Plate and Surface loads, and if possible, an example of the application regarding to each of the load type.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aric.
