Comments
- Dynamic excitation sets must be selected with the Subcase Information command with DLOAD=SID.
- The type of dynamic excitation is
specified by TYPE (field 5) based on the following table:
TYPE TYPE of Dynamic Excitation Integer Character 0 L, LO, LOA, or LOAD Applied load (force, moment or pressure). (Default)
1 D, DI, DIS, or DISP Enforced displacement or temperature; EXCITEID references SPC/SPCD data. 2 V, VE, VEL, or VELO Enforced velocity; EXCITEID references SPC/SPCD data. 3 A, AC, ACC, or ACCE Enforced acceleration; EXCITEID references SPC/SPCD data. 4 T, TE, TEM, or TEMP Enforced temperature; EXCITEID references TEMP/TEMPD/TEMPADD data. 5 J, JO, JOU, or JOUL Enforced Joule loss density; EXCITEID references ID of a steady-state electrical subcase, from which the Joule loss density will be applied in the transient heat transfer subcase. - The TYPE also determines the manner
in which EXCITEID is used by the program as described
below.
- If the type of dynamic excitation specified by TYPE is applied load, the EXCITEID must reference DAREA, FORCEx, MOMENTx, PLOADx, PLOADSF, PRSPENE, RFORCE, GRAV, QVOL, ACCEL, ACCEL1, ACCEL2 or QBDY1 entries.
- If the type of dynamic excitation specified by TYPE is enforced motion (TYPE=1, 2, or 3), the EXCITEID must reference SPC/SPCD entries.
- If the excitation specified by TYPE is enforced temperature (TYPE=4), the EXCITEID must reference TEMP/TEMPD/TEMPADD entries.
- TYPE=1 must be specified if the EXCITEID field references SPCD data used in transient heat transfer analysis to define time-dependent thermal boundary conditions. This also applies when using SPCD to identify a time-dependent heat transfer convection coefficient.
- TLOAD1 loads may be combined with TLOAD2 loads only by specification on a DLOAD entry. That is, the SID on a TLOAD1 entry may not be the same as that on a TLOAD2 entry.
- SID must be unique for all TLOAD1, TLOAD2, RLOAD1, and RLOAD2 entries.
- TLOAD2 entries cannot be used with Fourier analysis.
- The continuation entry is optional.
- When EXCITEID refers to an SPCD entry, the modal space will be augmented with displacement vector(s) from linear static analysis with unit prescribed displacement at each of the SPCD degrees-of-freedom. EXCITEID cannot reference the LOAD and LOADADD Bulk Data Entries.
- The DT and TTERM fields on the NLPARM Bulk Data Entry allow for an alternate method (instead of NINC) to define the loading curve for Nonlinear Static Analysis. The DLOAD Subcase Entry can be used in a NLSTAT subcase to reference TLOAD2 Bulk Data Entry. This allows for the specification of a user-defined loading curve via the TLOAD2 entry.
- The TSTIME field is supported for nonlinear structural analysis, linear transient heat transfer, and nonlinear transient heat transfer analyses.
- SHIFTY is currently supported for Linear Transient Analysis (Direct and Modal).
- This card is represented as a load collector in HyperMesh.
