.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 in the Global Coordinate System (see CID in Grid ) 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
Data
Description
iter
Keyword denoting the beginning of a new iteration.
Iteration
Iteration number.
NumIds
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
Data
Description
Id
Output identification number for the subcase. This is not the same as the subcase ID used in the input data.
Number_of_nodes
Number of nodes for which this output is requested.
Frequency
Is 1.0 for static analysis.
LOAD
Keyword declaring applied load information.
Spc_id
SID for SPC's referenced by this subcase.
Datatype
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
Data
Description
NID
Node identification number.
X force
X force at the node.
Y force
Y force at the node.
Z force
Z force at the node.
X mom
X moment at the node.
Y mom
Y moment at the node.
Z mom
Z moment at the node.
