Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	Document to which new area load will be added.
hostElemId	ElementId	The analytical surface host element id for the area Load.
loops	IList	The loops that define geometry of the area load. The curve loop collection should contains a closed loops consisting of lines.
forceVectors	IList	The array of force vectors applied to the maximum three reference point of the area load.
refPointCurveIndexes	IList	The array of maximum three curve indexes on which reference points should be placed on.
refPointCurveEnds	IList	The array of maximum three curve ends indicating where reference points should be placed on. The array can have only 0 or 1 values, which means 0 - curve start point, 1 - curve end point.
symbol	AreaLoadType	The symbol of the AreaLoad. Set <span class="keyword"><span data-languagespecifictext="cpp=nullptr\|vb=Nothing\|nu=null" id="LST1B4C9E2A_17"></span></span> to use default type.

Return Value

Type	Description
AreaLoad	If successful, returns an object of the newly created AreaLoad. is returned if the operation fails.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	hostElemId is not permitted for this type of load. -or- One of the following requirements is not satisfied : - curve loops loops are not planar - curve loops loops are self-intersecting - curve loops loops contains zero length curves -or- Thrown when force vector is equal zero.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentsInconsistentException	Thrown if the host element id is a Curved Panel.
InvalidOperationException	Thrown if type could not be set for newly created area load.
