Static Scalar Load

Description: Defines concentrated static loads on scalar or grid points.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
SID Load set identification. Integer > 0 Required
Si Scalar or grid point identification number. Integer > 0 Required
Fi Load magnitude. Real 0.0

Remarks:

  1. SLOAD is only supported in heat transfer analysis and must be selected with the Case Control command LOAD = SID.
  2. Up to three loads may be defined on a single entry.
  3. If Si refers to a grid point, the load is applied to component T1 of the displacement coordinate system (see the CD field on the GRID entry).
