DAREA – Dynamic Load Scale Factor
Defines scale (area) factors for dynamic loads. DAREA is used in conjunction with RLOAD1 and RLOAD2 entries.

Comments
One or two scale factors may be defined on a single entry.
Refer to RLOAD1 or RLOAD2 entries for the formulae that define the scale factor A#.
Component numbers refer to the displacement coordinate system.
When the I/O option SPSYNTAX is set to CHECK (default) or STRICT, it is required for grid/component pairs (G#/C#) that the component be 0 or blank when the grid reference is a scalar point (SPOINT), and that the component be > 1 when the grid reference is a structural grid point (GRID). When SPSYNTAX is set to MIXED, it is allowed for grid/component pairs (G#/C#) that the grid reference be either a scalar point (SPOINT) or a structural grid point (GRID) when the component is 0, 1 or blank; interpreting all of these as 0 for scalar points and as 1 for structural grids. When the component is greater than 1, the grid reference must always be a structural grid (GRID).
