Description: Defines a static moment at a grid point by specifying a vector.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Load set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| G | Grid point identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| M | Moment magnitude. | Real | Required |
| G1, G2 | Grid point identification numbers. | Integer > 0; G1 = G2 | Required |
Remarks:
- The static load applied to grid point G is given by:
where
is a unit vector parallel to a vector for G1 to G2.
- Load sets must be selected in the Case Control Section (LOAD = SID).
