Solutions and solving > Load recipes > Create a load recipe from a data source
2. Select the data source and configure the load recipe.
In the Load Recipe dialog box, on the Data Sources tab, click Add .
Select the data source file and click OK.The data source file name and file type appear in the list on the Data Sources tab, along with the default format handler and description for the data source.
(Optional) In the Data Source Label box, type a descriptive name for the data source file.Note: The text that appears in the Label column in the data sources table is not updated until you click OK.
If you are creating a FEM load recipe and want to use multiple data sources, repeat steps 1–4 for each data source file.Mode set load recipes support only one data source.
(Optional) In the Processing Options table, right-click any cell in the Value column that displays data to change the value for the associated attribute.
(Optional) If you selected a .unv, .op2, .pch, or .sc_h5 file with frequency loads, in the Function Attributes (SORT2 Only) group, set the attributes that control how to process the data.For more information, see Function Attributes (SORT2 Only).Note: For an .lms file, each function in the file can define its own attributes, so it is not possible to show all the attributes for each function. Therefore, the displayed values might not reflect the data from the file.
If you are creating a FEM load recipe, from the Handling list, select the method to use for merging the data from multiple data sources.For more information, see Load Condition Handling.
If you are creating a FEM load recipe, from the Values Outside Table list, select the method for extrapolating values outside the data table in the data sources.For more information about these options, see Extrapolation.
If you are creating a FEM load recipe, from the Strategy list, select the strategy to use for automatically populating the mapping table:To map the data source IDs to node IDs in the specified FEM, select Data Source Based.To map functions in the data source to selection recipes, select Selection Recipe Based.The selection recipes must have the same names as the functions in the data source. If no selection recipe with a matching name exists for a particular function, that function is not mapped.
Click Autofill .All the other tabs are populated with data from the data source files.
On the Load Conditions, Waterfall, Order Cut, and Modal Participation Factors tabs, disable any load conditions, waterfall values, order cut values, or modal participation factors (MPFs) that you do not want to include in the solution.The tabs that appear depend on the target type and data type that you selected in the Load Recipes Manager dialog box.If you are creating a mode set load recipe, or if you are creating a FEM load recipe and the automatically populated data on the Mapping tab is correct, you can complete the load recipe.Otherwise, you can update the information on the Mapping tab as needed.
Leave the Load Recipe dialog box open for the next step.
