Element Deformation Static Load
Description: Selects the Element Deformation Set to be applied to the model.
Format:
DEFORM = n
Example:
DEFORM = 27
| Option | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| n | Set identification of DEFORM Bulk Data entries. | Integer > 0 |
Remarks:
- DEFORM Bulk Data entries will not be used unless selected in the Case Control Section.
- The total load applied will be the sum of external (LOAD command), element deformation (DEFORM command), constrained displacement (SPC command), and thermal (TEMPERATURE command) loads.
- Static, thermal, and element deformation loads should have unique set identification numbers.
