*LINEARLOAD
Data format:
An arbitrary number of lines with 8 parameters each (one line per loading) :
IGR1 IOP ITABE ITABS ITABT FX FY FZ
Purpose :
To define a force loading along a line
Restriction :
Group and tables must have been previoulsy defined
Details :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IGR1 | Group number (if 0 it is applied on all groups representing lines) |
| IOP | IOP = 0 : the lineic force is given in the global frame IOP > 0 : ID number of a reference frame defined by *BCREFPF, *BCREFLOC or *BCREFGLO |
| ITABE | Identification number of a table defined by *TABLEMCOL. The table has two columns providing position along the line (m) and corresponding multiplication factor on the lineic force |
| ITABS | Identification number of a table defined by *TABLE. The table has two columns providing static step and corresponding multiplication factor on the lineic force |
| ITABT | ITABT = 0 |
| FX | Lineic force in X-direction (N/m) |
| FY | Lineic force in Y-direction (N/m) |
| FZ | Lineic force in Z-direction (N/m) |
Note
At each location of interest along the line, a first factor (a1) based on the position along the line is computed (ITABE). A second factor (a2) is computed based on the static step of interest. The resulting lineic force is multiplied by those two factors giving a1.a2.FX, a1.a2.FY, a1.a2.FZ.
