Remarks:

1. The above static load entries will not be used unless selected in the Case Control Section.
2. The total load applied will be the sum of external (LOAD command), element deformation (DEFORM command), constrained displacement (SPC command), and thermal (TEMPERATURE command) loads.
3. Static, thermal, and element deformation loads should have unique set identification numbers.
