LOAD.

Remarks:
- A global coordinate (G and C) referenced on this entry must also be referenced on a
SPC or
SPC1 Bulk Data entry and selected by the
SPC Case Control command.
- Values of D will override the values specified on an SPC Bulk Data entry, if the SID is selected on the
LOAD Case Control command.
- SPCD loads may be combined with other loads using the
LOAD Bulk Data entry.
- This is the preferred method for applying enforced displacements, rather than the "D" field of the SPC entry when multiple subcases with different enforced displacement conditions are applied.
- SPCD loads with SID set to zero will be applied to all subcases.
