Specifies how the load location is calculated from the start of the member. The location can be defined as Relative or Absolute.
A relative location can be thought of as a distance percentage along the member. For example, a load placed at a relative distance of 0.333 is located at one-third the member length measured from the member start. A load placed at a relative distance of 0.5 is located at the middle of the member.
An absolute distance is the actual distance from the start of the member. The software verifies that the absolute distance that you specify is not past the end of the member.
