*loadsupdate

Updates the magnitude, direction, and coordinate system of selected loads.

Syntax

*loadsupdate mark config type updatevector component [1-6] updatemag magnitude update_system system_id transform_flag

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Updates the magnitude, direction, and coordinate system of selected loads.

markmask: ID of the mark containing the loads to update.
config: The configuration of the load:; 1 - Force; 2 - Moment; 3 - Constraints; 5 - Temperature; 6 - Flux; 8 - Velocity; 9 - Acceleration
type: The type assigned to the load (as defined on the Load Types panel).
updatevector: A variable that controls if the direction of the load should be updated.
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 of the other components of the constraints are active in the respective directions. For pressures, the active components are 1, 2, and 3, which represent the x, y, and z-axis, respectively. To create a pressure that is normal to the element, set all components to zero.
updatemag: An integer variable that controls if the magnitude is updated.
magnitude: The new value of magnitude of the load.
update_system: A variable that controls if the system is updated.
system_id: The ID of the local system.
transform_flag: A simple integer variable that controls if the load is created in the local system.

To update a force of 10 N along the y axis to a force of 20 N along the y axis:

*createmark loads 1 4
*loadsupdate 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 20 0 0 1

*loadsupdate() is the update command for all loads.
