Hello

I am new to HyperWorks and am trying to use LOADADD in a nonlinear analysis to combine two load collectors in the second subcase following the reference of CNTNLSUB. I was wondering if anybody knew how to do this? 

I looked but was unable to find any helpful documentation or other forum posts on this topic.

All help is greatly appreciated, thank you

    Hi,

    You will need to create a new load collector using LOADADD (as you can see below):

    So, you will select the loads (1) to compute them (2 and 3) the S1 is the weight for each "load", as you can see below:

    Finally, you can assign this load as input in your load step, using the reference to your "preload"
