Use the Load Types panel to update load types and equations. This function requires that a template file be provided.
The Load Types panel has no subpanels. All relevant details are displayed in clickable text fields; clicking the field name or data opens a pop-up menu that allows you to choose from a list of relevant options for that field. The possible options are determined by your solver profile; for details, see Loads in the chapter on HyperMesh Entities and Solver Interfaces.
An entity collector allows you to select loads or equations to which the specified details can be applied by means of an update button on the right-hand side.
There are no subpanels on the Load Types panel. All inputs and command buttons are located on the main panel.
Input |
Action |
force = |
Force loads allow for a concentrated force (mass*length/time2) to be applied to the model. Forces are applied at nodes and are load config 1. |
moment = |
Moment loads allow for a concentrated moment (length*force) to be applied to the model. Moments are applied to nodes and are load config 2. |
constraint = |
Constraints allow for constrained degrees of freedom to be defined on the model by constraining the DOF of nodes. Constraints are load config 3. |
pressure = |
Pressure loads allow for a pressure (force*length2) to be applied to the model. Pressures are applied on elements, and are load config 4. |
temperature = |
Temperature loads allow for a concentrated temperature to be applied to the model. Temperatures can be applied to nodes, components surfaces, sets, points, or lines, and are load config 5. |
flux = |
Flux loads are defined as an amount that flows through a unit area per unit time (amount/length2/time). Fluxes are typically used in modeling transport phenomena such as heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetism. Fluxes are applied to nodes and are load config 6. |
velocity = |
Velocity loads allow for a velocity (length/time) to be applied to the model. Velocities are applied to nodes and are load config 8. |
acceleration = |
Acceleration loads allow for an acceleration (length/time2) to be defined on the model. Accelerations can be applied to to nodes, components, sets, surfaces, points, or lines, and are load config 9. |
equation = |
Equation entities contain mathematical equations that define more complex loads. They are used to define linear constraints in local and global coordinate systems. |
loads / equations |
Use the switch to choose between these two entity types, then use the selector to pick the entities that you wish to modify. Alter their load types as desired, then use the update button to apply the changes. |
update |
If you change a load type for a load or equation, click this button to apply the change to your model. |
The following action buttons appear:
