Load Set (General) (Simcenter Samcef)

A Load Set (General) is a container for structural or enforced motion loads that you can apply to a Linear Transient Response Analysis or a Linear Harmonic Response Analysis.

To use the load set in a solution, you must add the load set to a Transient Excitation Set or Frequency Excitation Set, which you then add to a subcase in the appropriate dynamic response analysis. If you add a load set directly to a subcase in a dynamic response analysis, the solver does not use the load set.

Note:

The load set can contain all load types except for Bolt Preload and Temperature Load.

Creating and assigning load sets

You can create or assign a load set in the dialog box where you create the excitation set, or you can create the load set separately and assign it to the excitation set later.

• You can assign only one load set to an excitation set.

• You can reuse a load set by assigning it to multiple excitation sets. This allows you to try the same loads with different excitation functions.

• You can create several load sets to assign to the same excitation set to test different loads with the same excitation function.

To assign a load set to an excitation set, drag it to the excitation set. If the excitation set contains a load set, you are prompted to replace it.
