User Defined Loads

  A User Defined Loads Data Set is denoted by a `KEY' of 300 in the data set header record.

Apart from the data set header record all remaining data records for User Defined Loads are the same as for User Defined Results and loads data is treated internally by FEMVIEW in a similar manner to results data. This allows all the FEMVIEW result presentation techniques to be used with loads data.

Loads data sets will be marked as such when the loadcase index is displayed and also the monitor will indicate when a loads data set is being displayed.

The user will be prevented from combining results data with loads data in the RESULTS CALCULATE COMBINE command; but different loads data sets may be combined together.

If loads data and results data are used together as source data sets in the RESULTS CALCULATE EXPRESSION command then the destination data set is always designated a results data set.
