Transient Excitation Set dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Use these options to create a transient excitation set and its excitation function. You can optionally create and assign the load set for this excitation set.

Name
Name Specifies the displayed name for the excitation set.
Label Sets a numeric label for the excitation set.
Description
Description Lets you enter a description for the excitation set.You can also Cut , Copy , and Paste text.
Load Set
Appears when you are creating a new transient excitation set.
Automatic Creation Controls how to add a load set to a Transient Excitation Set.Automatic Creation Creates an empty Load Set (General) and adds it to the Transient Excitation Set.Automatic Creation Lets you choose a load set from the list or None to create your own, empty Load Set (General). You can name it and enter a description text.
Load Set Available when the Automatic Creation check box is cleared.Specifies the load set to assign to this transient excitation set.To create a new load set, click Load Set .
Property
Excitation Sets the magnitude of the excitation.For information on setting the magnitude, see Additional magnitude options.
Cyclic Symmetry
Function Sets a function that describes the tangential evolution of the load. The X-axis is defined in degrees from 0 to 360. For more information, see the FSC parameter of the Samcef .SOD command.For information on setting the magnitude, see Additional magnitude options.
