Load Curves

  A load curve is a time-based graph which is associated with a load (velocity, acceleration etc.) in order to modify the load value during the course of a DYNA3D analysis. This is done by multiplying the load value at each time step by the factor defined in the load curve definition for that time (or interpolated linearly from load curve points before and after that time).

Load curves can be defined in FEMGEN via Time Curves or via some specific load types.
