Detailed Description

Virtual element load base class.

This load class defines an external load that acts on elements in a system. The vector with pointers to elements defines, on which elements the load acts. The derived load classes should provide members, that allow the Element's class Fe() member function to uniquely transform the load into nodal loads. No special requirements are enforced on those members.

Ultimately, when assembling the right hand side of the master equation (master force vector) the Element's Fe() member funtion is called with the pointer to the LoadElement class that is prescribed on that element. Fe() function shuld dynamically cast this pointer to specific load class, which it can handle and return the element's force vector.
