Surface loads can be defined by an input of three force components and two moment components. A torque around the y-axis cannot be taken by the bearing, therefore it is not available as input.
For each load, a selection can be made if the load should be multiplied by a load factor in a calculation for series. If not selected, the load is considered constant for all load steps.
If the check box "calculate stiffness" is set all surface nodes are connected to a central node by averaging and a stiffness matrix for this central node is calculated based on a static condensation of the model.
