SuperElements Multiple Load Cases for TO

Cristiam Javier PERDOMO

I want to reduce my model with superelements to perform TO, however examples only show one load case and I have at least six.

I would like to know if the matrix reduction will take into account each load case? 

Thanks in advance,

yes.

The superelement populates the stiffness and load matrices for all your loadcases.

When you perform the residual run, you will use the P2G to load your residual loads, for all the loadcases, keeping the same sequence.
