P2G – Direct Input Load Matrix Selection
The P2G command can be used in the subcase information section to select a direct input load matrix.
P2G = name

name |
Name of a load matrix that is input in the bulk data section using the DMIG card. |
Terms are added to the load matrix before any constraints are applied.
The matrix must be columnar, i.e. field 4 on the referenced DMIG entry must contain the integer 9.
A scale factor may be applied to this input using the CP2 parameter (See PARAM bulk data entry.
Gravity and centrifugal loads are not considered on the external mass matrix (M2GG). Gravity and centrifugal loads must be included in generating the reduced loads (P2G). The P2G can then be used in DMIG input to get the exact static results.
When multiple instances of this card occur, the referenced DMIG entries are combined. This behavior differs from that of Nastran, which only recognizes the last instance of this card in the same situation.
