DLOAD

Bulk Data Entry Defines a dynamic loading condition for frequency response problems as a linear combination of load sets defined via RLOAD1 and RLOAD2 entries, or for transient problems as a linear combination of load sets defined via TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 entries, or acoustic source ACSRCE entries.

Definitions

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`SID`	Load set identification number. No default (Integer > 0)
`S`	Scale factor. No default (Real)
`S#`	Scale factors. No default (Real)
`L#`	Load set identification numbers of RLOAD1 and RLOAD2 or TLOAD1 and TLOAD2, or ACSRCE Bulk Data Entries. No default (Integer > 0)

Comments

Dynamic load sets must be selected in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections with DLOAD=SID. (DLOAD I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry).
The load vector being defined by this entry is given by:(1)
${P} = S \sum_{i} Si {P_{i}}$
Each L# must be unique from any other L# on the same entry.
SID must be unique from all RLOAD1 and RLOAD2 or TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 entries.
A DLOAD entry may not reference a set identification number defined by another DLOAD entry.
RLOAD1 and RLOAD2 loads and TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 loads may be combined only through the use of the DLOAD entry.
