The Distributed Load command (selected from the Insert or Modify tab) enables the user to define or modify a linearly distributed load over a specified range of points. The loading can be added to any one of the defined static load cases
Notes:

2. The copy/pasted operation for distributed loads data on a point/member is not supported.
3. Distributed loads are calculated as linearly interpolated value at the position along the pipe.
