How to Scale Load/Load Collector/Load step

Hey!

 

Is there any way to scale single loads, load collectors or load steps in HyperMesh using Optistruct as the solver?

 

Ich can't really find anything. All I found was 'use the LOAD controll card'. I found it via 'controll cards -->global_case_control --> Load' but it seems that this one just gives the Loadcas ID.

    You have to create LOAD card using load collector.Set the card Image as LOAD.See attached screenshot for reference.

    For scaling single load set loadnum set to I and for multiple load update accordingly.s1(1) is scale factor & S is global scale factor for all loadcases.

    Regards

    LOAD card has now been replaced with equivalent LOADADD.

    LOAD card is still accepted for backward compatability.
