are the values of the loads.
Notes
• Joint numbers may be repeated where loads are meant to
be additive in the joint.
• UNIT command may be on lines in between joint-list lines.
The next command, Copy Load, may optionally be placed here to
use the equivalent joint loads from prior cases. This feature
enables using the more complex loading commands like
selfweight, floor load, wind load, etc. that are not directly
available here.
