ADDistributedLoadShell
Applies a distributed load (specified in units of force per area) on the shell plane in a given direction (e.g. self_weight, wind load) or normal to the shell plan (e.g. pressure loads)
Description
The ADDistributedLoadShell kernel calculates the contribution to the residual from a distributed load (in units of force per area) on the shell elements. The load can be applied either in a specified direction within the global x-y-z coordinate system (e.g., self-weight, wind load) or normal to the shell plane (e.g., pressure loads). The project_load_to_normal parameter defines how the direction of the the load is defined. This parameter defaults to false, which indicates that the load is applied in the direction of the variable this is applied to (defined by the variable parameter). If project_load_to_normal=true, the distributed load is treated as a pressure load applied in the shell normal direction, perpendicular to the shell surface. For this case, an instance of this kernel is required for each of the displacement variables.
The magnitude of the distributed load is specified as a function. A scalar value can be supplied to the function (i.e., function=1.0) for constant loading.
