Mechanical Load Summary dialog box
| Solution/Loads | |
|---|---|
| Select Loads | Lets you select the loads for which to compute the total forces and moments. When you first open the Mechanical Load Summary dialog box, the software automatically selects all the loads in the active solution or subcase. You can then use Select Loads to deselect (or then re-select) individual loads. |
| Reference CSYS | |
| CSYS Type | Lets you select the type of coordinate system to use as the reference coordinate system. The reference coordinate system is the coordinate system in which the software reports the total loads. The software also calculates the total moments about the origin of the reference coordinate system. |
| Specify CSYS | Lets you select the reference coordinate system.Click CSYS Dialog to use the CSYS dialog box to create the coordinate system.Click to choose a coordinate system command to create the coordinate system. |
| Time Option | |
| Evaluation Time | This option is available for time-dependent solutions, such as Simcenter Nastran SOL 109, 112, and 601.Lets you specify the time at which to evaluate the total loads. If you specify a time at which no loads are applied, the software reports the total loads as zero. |
| Frequency Option | |
| Evaluation Frequency | This option is available for frequency-dependent solutions, such as Simcenter Nastran SOL 108 and 111.Lets you specify the frequency at which to evaluate the total loads. If you specify a frequency at which no loads are applied, the software reports the total loads as zero. |
| Output Options | |
| Units | Lets you select the units in which to display the data. |
