Allows load cases to be managed.
General principle:
Load cases can be managed using the following dialogue box 
:
The "Append" button is for adding a new static load case.
The "Reset" button allows the permanent load cases to be emptied. This button is renamed "Destroy" for temporary loading cases.
The "Rename" button is for renaming any type of load case.
The "Current" button is for making the selected load
case current .
The "OK" button is for validating any changes.
The "Cancel" button is for undoing all the modifications undertaken since the dialogue box was opened.
Specific point(s):
Every TopCASTOR document (3D or 2D) has a permanent dynamic load case
in which the added
masses and inertias are put. By default, this
load case is named "Added masses".
Every
TopCASTOR document (3D or 2D) has a default permanent static load
case in which all static mechanical loads are put.
If any thermal data has been created, a specific and permanent load
case is created and, by default, named "Thermal data".
The
"LOAD CASE SET" can be edited straight from the symbolic
tree .
Each of these load cases can be made current straight from the
symbolic tree, by means of its associated context-sensitive menu.
