*loadcreateonentity

Creates a load (forces, temperature, moment, velocity, acceleration, or constraints) on nodes, fixed points (surface vertices or weld points), surface edges, and surfaces.

Syntax

*loadcreateonentity geomtype markmask config type component[1-6]

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Creates a load (forces, temperature, moment, velocity, acceleration, or constraints) on nodes, fixed points (surface vertices or weld points), surface edges, and surfaces.

Inputs

geomtype
Type of entity the load is applied on (e.g. SURFS).
markmask
The ID of a mark containing the entities that will bear the load.
config
The configuration of the load:
  • 1 - Force
  • 2 - Moment
  • 3 - Constraint
  • 5 - Temperature
  • 6 - Flux
  • 8 - Velocity
  • 9 - Acceleration
type
The type assigned to the load (as defined on the "load types" panel).
component[1-6])
Components of the load being applied.
When applying a force, the active components are 1, 2, and 3, which represent a force x, y, and z-axis, respectively.
When applying a moment, the active components are also 1, 2, and 3, and represent the moment about the x, y, and z-axis, respectively.
For constraints, all of the components are active unless they are set equal to -999999.0. All the other components of the constraints are active in the respective directions.

Example

To apply a temperature of 0 degrees on a surface

*createmark surfaces 1 12
*loadcreateonentity surfaces 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

Errors

None.
