# 3.2.3: Disassemble Mesh Load The procedure for distributing mesh-loads on a structure can be computationally heavy. The **“Disassemble Mesh Load”**-component lets one freeze a mesh-load. It returns the point- and element-loads which were originally generated for reuse with another structure (see fig. 3.2.3.1). One has to make sure that the parts of the geometry on which the original mesh-load acted did not change too much. Point-loads are defined using their position, element-loads refer to their elements via element-index. In order to reuse the latter, the corresponding element-indexes of the new and old model need to match. ![ Fig. 3.2.3.1: The “Disassemble Mesh Load”-component splits mesh-loads into point- and element-loads](https://442610158-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MCkDlhlZpqUmakSqOrp%2Fsync%2F64593ed61ac1cc599ac2b092f216c29f35408df0.PNG?generation=1595316044152469\&alt=media) {% file src="" %}
