Based on your added description I will assume this request is for a loading macro that helps determine the controlling stair loading on a beam based on user settings.
Today you can create Quick Loads in Settings that will allow you to predefine the line load for each stair type. This Quick Load can quickly be added to the member and then you would have to simply update the tributary width (typ. 1/2 the length of the stairs) for the load being added.
Either. Especially when you look at stair and railing load requirements of table 1607.1
Line 30
Stairs (1 and 2 family)
Uniform live: 40psf
Concentrated: 300 lbs
Stairs (all others)
Uniform live: 100psf
Concentrated: 300 lbs
Both concentrated loads have a note (f):
The minimum concentrated load on stair treads shall be applied on an area of 2 inches by 2 inches. This load need not be assumed to act concurrently with the uniform load.
Thanks for your idea. Are you looking for a wizard (a.k.a. load macro) to help determine the load magnitude that would be applied to the beam? Or are you simply looking for the software to have a predefined Quick Load for stairs?
