Field

Contents

SID

Identification number of a static load set.

(Integer > 0)

G

Grid or scalar point identification number.

(Integer > 0)

C

Component number of global coordinate.

(6 > Integer > 0; up to six unique such digits may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks)

D

Value of enforced displacement for all coordinates designated by G and C.

Comments

  1. The degree of freedom (G and C) referenced on this entry must also be referenced on a SPC or SPC1 bulk data entry and selected by the SPC subcase information command.

  2. Values of D will override the values specified on an SPC bulk data entry, if the SID is selected on the LOAD subcase information command.

  3. The bulk data LOAD combination entry cannot combine an SPCD load.

  4. This method of applying enforced displacements is equivalent that of using an SPC entry.

  5. The load set identification number is referenced by the subcase information command LOAD.

  6. 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).
