Fedra853 1 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Hi, I need to resolve a transient(direct) analysis on my model. There are 8 different imported load that I merged into 1 with a LOADADD card, then I create a TABLED1. Now I need to create a TLOAD1 to give the forces a time dependence function. the problem is that TLOAD1 field "EXCITEID cannot reference the LOAD and LOADADD Bulk Data Entries". How can I resolve a transient analysis having more than 1 load? Thanks for the help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Hi @Fedra853 You can have individual TLOAD1s and use DLOAD to combine all the TLOADs to a single load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fedra853 1 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Great thanks! In case there are Forces and Moment (automatically generated by HM when I imported a file.csv using field>realize) can I treat them in the same way, i.e merge them in the same collector?

Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Hi, If the loads are used in same loadcases, you can have a single loadcase and use it in TLOAD. If the loads are for different loadcases, use different loadcases and different TLOADs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
