Apply the Load

The load is applied as a gravity load on the surface of the bolt hole.

  1. Copy the following text:
    strCmdForLoad = "<Load Name=""Gravity Load"" ID=""1"" Type=""3"" SubType="""" EntitiesCount=""1"" Subcases=""1"" ArrowLength=""50"" ArrowColor=""65280"" DisplayDensity=""4"" Direction=""0"" CoordinateSystemID=""0"" Display=""1"" Fx=""0.0[N]"" Fy=""-9.81456[N]"" Fz=""0.0[N]"" HasVariableLoad=""0"" HasHeatGenTable=""0"" HadConvCoeffTable=""0"" HasRadTable=""0"" HasTransTable=""0"" HasVelTransTable=""0"" HasAccTransTable=""0"" HasVelFreqTable=""0"" HasAccFreqTable=""0"" HasFreqTable=""0"" HasFreqPhaseTable=""0"" HasAccFreqPhaseTable=""0""><Entity1 GeometryType=""0"" GeometryID="""" ComponentName=""Tutorial 2""/></Load>"

    Type = 3 denotes the use of a gravity load. GeometryType = 0 denotes that the load is applied on all the vertices of Subcase 1.

    These commands are equivalent to applying the load with the user interface.

  2. Paste the text below the existing commands in the Edit Rule dialog.
  3. Press the Enter or Return key twice to jump down to a new line.
