Loadadd setup problems

Altair Forum User

hi,I don't know if the setting of S1(1) and S1(2) of this LOADADD side should be changed.

I have set the Force before.

This card is used to combine multiple subcase or loadstep. This card is used in linear analysis only.

S is the Global Scale Factor(all loadstep) and S1-S2....is the local scale factor for loadstep 1 and loadstep 2.

So if you have two loadstep then you could use LOADADD to combine two load step.

S set to 1 and S1 and S2 set to 1 and make sure define loadstep in L1 and L2. Attached is the screenshot for the combination of three loadstep.
