    Hello, many thanks for your answer, this is the way to use TABDMP1 in a table, but I should be able to use it in a load collector.

    I am trying to set the response spectrum calculation following the steps I found here:

    OS-T: 1375 Response Spectrum Analysis of a Structure (altair.com)

     

    And  the step which I have problems in, is the one you can see in the next image, in the load collector card I am not able to select TABDMP1 card...

    load collectors were generic entities in previous versions.

     

    General curves were moved into 'curve' entity in newer versions.

    These tutorials will get updated in future to avoid confusion.

    TABDMP1 is now created in HM as a 'curve' rather than a load collector

    Tip: There is an easy way to find a card entry option (or any other feature) in HM, you can use the search tool (magnifying glass top right, or press CTRL and F) and type it in and you can jump straight to the results from the list
