Both are basically the same thing, just with our visibility graphics different. 'Cause notice when we zoom in here, we can see our boundary conditions in 3D. So I'm going to go to Analytical Model 'cause it just makes it a little easier for me. On the analyze tab go to the analytical model panel. Click on Loads.
