Analysis Case Data - Linear Static Form

Access the Analysis Case Data - Linear Static form as follows:

Click the Define menu > Analysis Cases command to display the Analysis Cases form.
Click the Add New Case button or highlight a previously defined analysis case and click the Add Copy of Case or the Modify/Show Case button to display the Analysis Case Data form.
Select Static from the Analysis Case Type drop-down list and select the Linear option for Analysis Type.

When the Analysis Case Type is Static and the Analysis Type is Linear, provide input in the following areas:

Stiffness to Use.
Loads Applied. Apply the loads from one or more load cases or built-in acceleration loads. Usually, only one load case or acceleration load is used.

Important: All loads specified will be added and applied in combination. Only a single response will be calculated. Create different analysis cases to obtain separate responses to separate loads.

Load Type drop-down list. Choose whether the load to be applied is a load case or a built-in acceleration load. See Applying Acceleration Loads for more information.
Load Name drop-down list. Choose the load case name, or the global direction of ground acceleration, depending on the type of load.
Scale Factor edit box. Enter a scale factor that multiplies the load before adding it to other loads applied. For acceleration loads, the scale factor has units of acceleration, and should be consistent with the length units currently in use. For load cases, the scale factor is unitless.

Add button. After the Load Type, Load Name and Scale Factor have been specified, click the Add button to add the load.
Modify button.

Highlight a load in the set of applied loads.
Make any changes to the load type, load name, and scale factor at the top of the table.
Click the Modify button.

Delete button.

Highlight the load to be deleted in the set of applied loads.
Click the Delete button.
