Create Load

Use the Load command to create a new load.

strCmdForLoad = "<Load Name=""<Load Name>"" ID=""<Load ID>"" Type=""<Load Type>"" SubType=""0"" EntitiesCount=""<Entities Count>"" Subcases=""<Subcase Name>"" ArrowLength=""<Display Arrow Size>"" ArrowColor=""<Hex Color code in Decimal>"" DisplayDensity=""<Display Density>"" Direction=""<Components>"" CoordinateSystemID=""<Coordinate System ID>"" Display=""1"" Fx=""<Magnitude in X-DIR>"" Fy=""<Magnitude in Y-DIR>"" Fz=""<Magnitude in ZDIR>"" HasVariableLoad=""0"" HasHeatGenTable=""0"" HadConvCoeffTable=""0"" HasRadTable=""0"" HasTransTable=""0"" HasVelTransTable=""0"" HasAccTransTable=""0"" HasVelFreqTable=""0"" HasAccFreqTable=""0"" HasFreqTable=""0"" HasFreqPhaseTable=""0"" HasAccFreqPhaseTable=""0""><Entity1 GeometryType=""<Geometry Type>"" GeometryID=""<Vertex/Edge/Face ID>"" ComponentName=""<Component Name>""/></Load>"

Available load types include the following:

Load Type Value
Force 0
Moment 1
Pressure 2
Gravity 3
Heat Flux 4
Initial Condition 5
Body Temperature 6
Enforced Motion 7
Enforced Rotation 8
Temperature 9
Convection 10
Radiation 11
Heat Generation 12
Rotational Force 13
From Output 14
From FLOEFD 15
Distributed Load 16
Remote Force 17
Bearing Load 18

When the enforced motion load type is used, the following sub types are available:

Sub Type Value
Force 0
Moment 1

Available directions include the following:

Direction Value
Components 0
Normal to Surface 1
Geometric Entity 2

Available geometry types include the following:

Geometry Type Value
Vertex 0
Edge 1
Face 2

For example:

strCmdForLoad = "<Load Name=""Load 1"" ID=""1"" Type=""0"" SubType=""0"" EntitiesCount=""1"" Subcases=""1"" ArrowLength=""50"" ArrowColor=""65280"" DisplayDensity=""4"" Direction=""0"" CoordinateSystemID=""0"" Display=""1"" Fx=""0.0000000000[N]"" Fy=""-10.0000000000[N]"" Fz=""0.0000000000[N]"" HasVariableLoad=""0"" HasHeatGenTable=""0"" HadConvCoeffTable=""0"" HasRadTable=""0"" HasTransTable=""0"" HasVelTransTable=""0"" HasAccTransTable=""0"" HasVelFreqTable=""0"" HasAccFreqTable=""0"" HasFreqTable=""0"" HasFreqPhaseTable=""0"" HasAccFreqPhaseTable=""0""><Entity1 GeometryType=""2"" GeometryID=""4"" ComponentName=""Part 1""/></Load>"
