Location: Analysis page
Use the Load Steps panel to create and update collections of load collectors, groups, and output blocks. This panel applies to the Abaqus, Actran, Ansys, Madymo Marc, Permas and Samcef user profiles for HyperMesh. Not all options will apply to each user profile (for example, the Ansys profile only has the loadcols selector, since outputblock and groups do not apply).
For OptiStruct and Nastran user profiles, use the loadsteps panel instead.
The Load Steps panel does not contain any subpanels. Three different entity collectors allow you to select the entities that the load step applies to; any combination of entities can be chosen. The current load step displays in the name = field in the upper left. All actions performed on the panel only apply to the load step displayed in the name = field.
There are no subpanels on the Load Steps panel. All inputs are located on the main panel.
