Add to STAAD Physical Modeler Vehicle/ Moving Loading

Physical Modeler Loading should include Moving Load /Vehicle.

If you are following Physical modeler workflow there is no Vehicle or Moving load options, which is only allowed thru Analytical Model and to use that feature, only way would be to drop the physical model.

    Thank you for posting this idea. I appreciate your idea, but perhaps you could take this opportunity expand on the specific needs for including moving loads and use this as a way to define a more productive way to address your needs. For example being able to have the load follow a curve (various curves could be considered simple circular to more complex Bezier curves) where this could include lateral forces perpendicular to the curve. Also What about the logic to consider forces that dont land directly on members? Also what about loading on plates/surfaces?
