*SLOAD
18.20 *SLOAD: Apply loads to a substructure.
This option is used to activate a substructure load case defined by the *SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE
option.
Product: ABAQUS/Standard
Type: History data
Level: Step

*SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE
Optional parameters:
AMPLITUDE
Set this parameter equal to the name given to an amplitude defined by the *AMPLITUDE
option (“Amplitude curves,” Section 27.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual).
This
amplitude defines the time variation of the load case (*SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE)
magnitude throughout the step. If this parameter is omitted, the default amplitude is that defined in
“Procedures: overview,” Section 6.1.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, for the particular
procedure used in the step.
OP
Set OP=MOD (default) to modify or add to the currently active *SLOADs.
Set OP=NEW if all existing *SLOADs applied to the model should be removed and new ones
possibly defined.
Data lines to define the loading:
First line:
1. Element number or element set name. The elements must be substructures.
2. Load case name (as defined on the associated *SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE option).
3. Load magnitude. This magnitude is a multiplier for the load case magnitude defined under
the *SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE option. It can be adjusted throughout the step by the
amplitude specification in the usual way.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the loadings on the substructures.
