.load file

The .load file is an OptiStruct ASCII format results file.

File Creation

Creation of this file is controlled by the OLOAD I/O Option.

File Contents

Result	Description
Applied Load	Applied load vectors for linear static analysis.

File Format

The applied load file has the following format:

For each iteration, the following header is used:
	iter		Iteration		NumIds
where:
	iter		is a keyword denoting the beginning of a new iteration.
	Iteration		is the iteration number.
	Numids		is the number of subcases for which this output is created.

Each iteration section is divided up by subcase. Output for each subcase starts with a line in the following format:
	Id	Number_of_nodes			Frequency		LOAD:Spc_id(Datatype)			subcase_label
where:
	Id			is the output identification number for the subcase. This is not the same as the subcase ID used in the input data.
	Number_of_nodes			is the number of nodes for which this output is requested.
	Frequency			is 1.0 for static analysis.
	LOAD			is a keyword declaring applied load information.
	Spc_id			is the SID for SPC's referenced by this subcase.
	Datatype			is a keyword indicating the type of subcase involved. (LOAD) declares data is for a linear static subcase.

The following information is then provided for each node, for which this output was requested:
	NID		X force		Y force	Z force		X mom	Y mom		Z mom
where:
	NID		is the node identification number.
	X force		is the X force at the node.
	Y force		is the Y force at the node.
	Z force		is the Z force at the node.
	X mom		is the X moment at the node.
	Y mom		is the Y moment at the node.
	Z mom		is the Z moment at the node.
