Definitions

Field Contents SI Unit Example
ID Load set identification number.

(Integer > 0)

TID Identification number of a TABLEDi entry that defines loading scale factors versus time. The loads on the VALUE fields are multiplied with the scale factors to determine time-dependent loads on the joint degrees of freedom.

Default = blank (Integer > 0)

TSTIME Switch for time duration of the data from the table defined in TID. 3
TOT or 0
Uses total time to look up table data.
SUB or 1
Uses subcase time to look up table data.

Default = TOT

JIDi Identification number of a JOINTG Bulk Data Entry on which the loading is to be applied.
DOF Degree of freedom component number.

No default (Integer 1 through 6)

VALUE Load value to be applied on the identified degree of freedom for the specified JOINTG joint.

No default (Integer > 0)

Comments

  1. The types and directions of motion for the component numbers are:
    Component Number(s) Motion Type Motion Direction(s)
    1, 2, and 3 Displacement X,Y,Z
    4, 5, and 6 Rotation X,Y,Z
  2. The analysis support information for LOADJG is as follows:
    • Linear and Nonlinear Static Analysis for small and large displacement analysis cases.
    • Linear and Nonlinear Transient Analysis for small and large displacement analysis cases.
  3. TID and TSTIME are supported for:
    • Implicit small and large displacement nonlinear static analysis.
    • Implicit small and large displacement nonlinear transient analysis.
    • Explicit dynamic analysis.
