Load cases as such are not supported but you can split load into multiple steps. Just be careful with the OP=NEW parameter added by default in PrePoMax.

Beam elements are not yet supported (requested here: [Support for beam elements](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/support-for-beam-elements/1142)) but you can use them in FreeCAD for now.
