PROPERTY LOAD DISPLACE [load_name] [loadcase_no] part_name/ALL args

**Table 7.6:** DISPLACE load arguments.
Argument	Meaning
load_name	FEMGEN load name.
loadcase_no	FEMGEN loadcase number (links load to an NASTRAN step).
part_name	Any geometry containing nodes.
arg1	Displacement value.
arg2	Degree of Freedom Indicator (1,2,3,4,5,6), also see Table 7.5

Notes:

1.: The interface will simply apply the same displacement value to all nodes attached to the specified geometry ie. it will not divide the displacement value by the number of nodes.
