*DSLOAD

Keyword type: step

This option allows for the specification of section stresses on the boundary of submodels, cf. the *SUBMODEL card. There are two required parameters: SUBMODEL and STEP. Underneath the *DSLOAD card faces are listed for which a section stress will be calculated by interpolation from the global model. To this end these faces have to be part of a *SUBMODEL card, TYPE=SURFACE. The latter card also lists the name of the global model results file. The STEP parameter specifies the step in the global model which will be used for the interpolation. The distributed load type label convention is the same as for the *DLOAD card.

First line:

• *DSLOAD
• Enter the parameter SUBMODEL (no argument) and STEP with its argument

Following line for surface loading:

• Element number or element set label.
• Distributed load type label.

Repeat this line if needed.

Example:

*DSLOAD,SUBMODEL,STEP=4
Se1,P3

specifies hat on face 3 of all elements belonging to set Se1 the section stress is to be determined by interpolation from step 4 in the global model.
