Required parameters
- NAME
Set this parameter equal to a label that is used to refer to the load case in SLOAD option specifications
when applying loads to the substructure during an analysis.
Required parameter for substructure load cases that include nodal pressure
loading
-
GENERATE
-
Include this parameter to generate multiple substructure load
cases.
This parameter applies only to a load case definition that refers to the nodal
pressure distributed load type label (NP) in
the DSLOAD option.
Nodal pressure substructure load cases are generated for each node of the referenced
surface. The label that is used to refer to the individual load case in SLOAD option specifications is
formatted using the specified load case name, the referenced surface name, and the
node number as
follows:
name-surface_name-node_number
To
define the loads
Enter any mechanical loading options (Concentrated Loads and Distributed Loads) or thermal
loading options (Thermal Loads) to define the
loads forming the load case. Specify a magnitude for each load. This magnitude is scaled by
a magnitude and amplitude reference specified in the SLOAD option. The load case
definition continues until an option is encountered that is not one of the loading options.
If boundary conditions are included in a SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE, they are
always active, even if the SLOAD option is not
used.
