Description

option

<SID>

No default

SID:

Set identification of MBREQ, MBREQE, or MBREQM bulk data entries.

Comments

1.	Only one REQUEST entry can be present for each subcase.

2.	This subcase information entry is only valid when it appears in a multi-body subcase.

If the SID referenced by the REQUEST subcase information entry matches with the SID defined for an MBREQ bulk data entry, the information on this entry alone is selected. However, if a MBREQ bulk data entry does not have the referenced SID defined, any of the multi-body motion entries: MBREQE or MBREQM which have this SID will be selected.

4.	If present above the first subcase, it is applied to each multi-body dynamics subcase without a REQUEST entry.
