Bulk Data Entry
MOMENT2 – Static Moment, Alternate Form 2
Description
Defines a static moment by specification of a value and four grid points, which determine the direction. It can also be used to define the EXCITEID field (Amplitude “A”) of dynamic loads in RLOAD1, RLOAD2, TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 bulk data entries.
