SID |
Load set identification number. SID must be unique from all NLOAD1 entries. No default (Integer > 0) |
S |
Scale factor. No default (Real) |
Si |
Scale factors. No default (Real) |
Li |
Load set identification numbers of NLOAD1. Each Li must be unique from any other Li on the same entry. No default (Integer > 0) |
1. | Dynamic load sets must be selected in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections with NLOAD=SID. |
2. | The load vector being defined by this entry is given by: |
3. | An NLOAD entry may not reference a set identification number defined by another NLOAD entry. |
4. | This card is represented as a loadcollector in HyperMesh. |
