Comments
- LOADCYN Bulk Data Entry must be referenced by LOAD in the Subcase Information section, in case of cyclic symmetric analysis.
- LOADCYN can share a same ID with other LOADCYN or LOADCYH Bulk Entries. LOADCYN cannot share a same ID with other load set Bulk Data Entries.
- LOADCYN may reference all types of loads, except GRAV and RFORCE. LOADCYN can also reference an SPCD that defines enforced displacement. The LOADADD Bulk Data Entry is not supported for Li.
- The loading defined by
LOADCYN is given by:Where,
- Load vector referenced through Li.
- Number of load vectors.
- The numbering of segment indices is described in CYSYM Bulk Data Entry.
- Nonlinear implicit cyclic symmetry subcases do not allow non- cyclic symmetric loadings and behaviors due to theoretical restrictions. Therefore, the regular method of loadset definition is adopted, that is, to directly reference a loadset ID of either load collectors LOAD(ADD)/DLOAD or a set of loads.
