make_patterned_udl(beam_model, w, n_segments=20)[source]#

Create partial-UDL basis load cases for load patterning.

Each span is divided into n_segments equal local segments, and each segment is stored as one ordinary LoadCase. Use LoadCases.target_combination() on the returned collection to create a LoadCombination for a target effect such as support hogging.
