New Static 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 specifying the excitation location.Graphic Selection — Lets you select the load in the graphics window.List Selection — Lets you select the load from a list of load sets.
Select Object	Appears only when Selection Method is set to Graphic Selection.Lets you select a load set on the model where the 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. Select a load set. Each load set corresponds to a distributed attachment mode (generated from a load in the Dynamics subcase for the solution). For more information about distributed attachment modes, see The modal model.
Excitation Functions
Function	The record name of the scaling function assigned to this excitation. The function scales the load set.
	Lets you choose an action from a list: Function Manager — Opens the XY Function Manager dialog box, where you can browse the list of functions you have defined (for all open AFU files) or create a new function. Select the function with which to scale this load. You can use only Time 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.Note: If you use multiple excitations in an event, the functions must have the same X Minimum and X Increment values. These values determine the number of points in the function. Functions with different numbers of points (or with the incorrect ordinate data types for the excitation type) appear in red and cannot be selected.
Scale Factor	The scale factor to apply to this function. Enter a multiplier by which to further scale the load, if desired.
