Modeling a free polygonal load

[Syd_Barrett]

Hello everyone,

I am currently having trouble understanding the structure for creating a free polygon load in Python. What am I doing wrong?

Hello @Syd_Barrett,
the definition of the load_location variable works best with an auxiliary variable for the LoadLocationTable. The variable can be defined with the following code:

locations = rfem.loads.FreePolygonLoad.LoadLocationTable(  
        rows=[  
            rfem.loads.FreePolygonLoad.LoadLocationRow(            
            first_coordinate=5.0,  
            second_coordinate=3.5  
        ),  
        rfem.loads.FreePolygonLoad.LoadLocationRow(            
            first_coordinate=2.0,  
            second_coordinate=5.0  
        ),  
        rfem.loads.FreePolygonLoad.LoadLocationRow(            
            first_coordinate=1.866392129,  
            second_coordinate=2.291674693  
        ),  
        rfem.loads.FreePolygonLoad.LoadLocationRow(            
            first_coordinate=3.79408619,  
            second_coordinate=2.188892957  
        )  
        ]  
    )  

This variable can then simply be assigned to the load_location variable when creating the free polygon load.
