DELAY

Dynamic Load Time Delay

Description: This entry is used in conjunction with the TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 entries and defines the time delay term in the equations of the dynamic loading function.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
SID Identification number of the DELAY set. Integer > 0 Required
Pi Grid point identification number. Integer > 0 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
Ti Time delay for designated point Pi and component Ci. Real

Remarks:

  1. One or two dynamic load time delays may be defined on a single entry.
  2. SID must also be referenced on a TLOAD1 or TLOAD2 entry. Refer to these entry descriptions for the formulas that define how the time delay is used.
  3. A DAREA and/or LSEQ entry should be used to define a load at Pi and Ci.
