You can edit the values and positions of loads and prescribed displacements numerically in tables of data that may be displayed in the Data window.  These tables display Joint Loads, Prescribed Displacements, Member Loads and Thermal Loads.  You can choose which table to display by choosing the appropriate item from the Data sub-menu under the Display menu.

To change the value or position of a load

§    Click on the number to be changed

§    Type in the new value for the load

§    Press the enter key

If you change the position or direction of a load, the drawing in the Load window will be updated to reflect the change.

Note that the loads for the current load case only will be displayed in the Data window.  You cannot change loads for a combined load case, a Time History load case or a self weight load case.

You can also edit loads numerically by double clicking on a member in the Load window. This will display a dialog with a table of member loads and a table of thermal loads.

All of these values can be edited in this table and you can also add and delete loads using the buttons in the dialog. Loads on joints can be changed in a similar way by double clicking on the joint.
