Hi, I have an easy question I guess.
I was trying to apply the loading on the QUAD elements.
So on each element, I have data of X, Y, Z loading.
I was writing as " QUAD 1 1 1 PXX P 0.1 "
For inputting the force in the PYY and PZZ, do I have to repeat?
Like this:
" QUAD 1 1 1 PXX P 0.1
QUAD 1 1 1 PYY P 0.1
QUAD 1 1 1 PZZ P 0.1 "
Or is there any way to write this loading in one line?
Thank you so much!
Your approach is the correct one.
There are other options such as using a free area load with an inclined surface, but that is unnecessarily complicated.
Okay, got it. I just hoped for a simpler solution. Writing multiple times was tedious.
Shorter and clearer is possible:
lc 1
quad from 1 to 1 inc - type pxx p 0.10
= to = inc - type pyy p 0.11
= to = inc - type pzz p 0.12
or --
lc 2
quad from 1 to 1 inc - type pxx p 0.10; = to = inc - type pyy p 0.11; = to = inc - type pzz p 0.12
or –
lc 3
quad from 1 to 1 inc - type pxx,pyy,pzz p 0.10,0.11,0.12
