RLOAD1

Bulk Data Entry Defines a frequency-dependent dynamic load of the form: $P (f) = A (C (f) + i D (f)) e^{i (θ - 2 π f τ)}$ for use in frequency response problems.

RLOAD1 (Form 1) can be used when the frequency-dependent dynamic load input is available in real/imaginary number format.

Definitions

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`SID`	Set identification number. Must be unique for all RLOAD1 and RLOAD2 entries. No default (Integer > 0)
`EXCITEID`	Identification number of the DAREA, SPCD, FORCEx, MOMENTx, PLOADx, RFORCE, ACCEL, ACCEL1, ACCEL2 or GRAV entry set that defines A. No default (Integer > 0)
`DELAY`	Defines time delay $τ$ . If it is a non-zero integer, it represents the identification number of a DELAY Bulk Data Entry that defines $τ$ . If it is Real, then it directly defines the value of $τ$ that will be used for all degrees-of-freedom that are excited by this dynamic load entry. Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0, or Real)
`DPHASE`	Defines phase $θ$ in degrees. If it is a non-zero integer, it represents the identification number of a DPHASE Bulk Data Entry that defines $θ$ . If it is Real, then it directly defines the value of $θ$ that will be used for all degrees-of-freedom that are excited by this dynamic load entry. Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0, or Real)
`TC`	Integer ≥ 0 Set identification number of the TABLED1, TABLED2, TABLED3, TABLED4 or TABLEG entry that gives $C (f)$ . Real This real value is used for $C (f)$ for all frequencies.2 Blank Default = 0 if `TD` is non-zero.
`TD`	Integer ≥ 0 Set identification number of the TABLED1, TABLED2, TABLED3, TABLED4 or TABLEG entry that gives $D (f)$ . Real This real value is used for $D (f)$ for all frequencies. 2 Blank Default = 0 if `TC` is non-zero.
`TYPE`	Identifies the type of the dynamic excitation. Default = 0 (See Comment 4)

Comments

Dynamic load sets must be selected in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections with the command DLOAD=SID.
If any DELAY, DPHASE, TC, or TD fields are blank or zero, the corresponding $τ$ , $θ$ , $C (f)$ , or $D (f)$ will be zero. Either TC or TD may be blank or zero, but not both.
RLOAD1 loads may be combined with RLOAD2 loads only by specification on a DLOAD entry. This means that the SID on a RLOAD1 entry must not be the same as that on a RLOAD2 entry.

Valid entries for the TYPE field are listed alongside a description of the dynamic excitation which they invoke.

Type	Description
0, L, LO, LOA, LOAD	Applied load; `EXCITEID` references DAREA data.
1, D, DI, DIS, DISP	Enforced displacement; `EXCITEID` references SPCD data.
2, V, VE, VEL, VELO	Enforced velocity; `EXCITEID` references SPCD data.
3, A, AC, ACC, ACCE	Enforced acceleration; `EXCITEID` references SPCD data.

When EXCITEID refers to an SPCD entry, the modal space will be augmented with displacement vector(s) from linear static analysis with unit prescribed displacement at each of the SPCD degrees-of-freedom.
All static structural loads can be referenced by EXCITEID by referring to the SID on the structural load. The structural loads are FORCE, FORCE1, FORCE2, MOMENT, MOMENT1, MOMENT2, PLOAD, PLOAD1, PLOAD2, PLOAD4, RFORCE, ACCEL, ACCEL1, ACCEL2 and GRAV. EXCITEID cannot reference the LOAD and LOADADD Bulk Data Entries.
