New Distributed Load Excitation dialog box

Name
Name	A descriptive name for the excitation.
Description	A longer description for the excitation.
Excitation Location
Selection Method	Choose a method for selecting a load set as the excitation location.Graphic Selection — Lets you select the load set in the graphics window.List Selection — Lets you select the load set ID from a list of available load sets.Note: Each load set corresponds to a load distribution that you can scale using a function. Load sets are generated from loads you added to the Dynamics subcase prior to solving the solution.
Select Object	Appears only when Selection Method is set to Graphic Selection.Lets you select a load set on the model where the distributed-load excitation should be applied.
ID	Appears only when Selection Method is set to List Selection.The ID of the load set you selected as the location of the excitation.
Excitation Location List	Appears only when Selection Method is set to List Selection.Opens the Select Excitation Location dialog box, where you can select a load set where this excitation should be applied.
Excitation Functions
Function	The record name of the scaling function assigned to this excitation.
	Lets you choose an action from a list: Function Manager — Opens the XY Function Manager dialog box, where you can browse the list of excitation functions you have defined (for all open AFU files) or create a new function. Select the excitation function with which to scale this load. For distributed load excitations, you can use only functions with Ordinate Data Type of Unitless Scalar.Plot — Plots the selected function. After selecting a function from the Function Manager, you can plot the function.Information — Displays information about the selected function.
Scale Factor	The scale factor to apply to this function. Enter a multiplier by which to further scale the load, if desired.
Phase Angle	Appears only for Frequency events.The phase difference between two excitations.
