DAREA

Dynamic Load Scale Factor

Description: The entry is used in conjunction with the TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 entries and defines the point where the dynamic load is to be applied with the scale (area) factor A.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
SID Identification number of DAREA set. Integer > 0 Required
Pi Grid point identification number. Integer > 0 Required
Ai Scale (area) factor. Real Required
Ci Component number of global coordinate (up to six unique digits may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks). 0 ≤ Integer ≤ 6 Required

Remarks:

  1. One or two scale factors may be defined on a single entry.
  2. Refer to TLOAD1 or TLOAD2 entries for the formulas that define the scale factor Ai.
  3. Component numbers refer to the displacement coordinate system.
  4. DAREA entries may be used with LSEQ Bulk Data entries. The LSEQ and static load entries will be used to internally generate DAREA entries.
