5.39 Load List Specification
Purpose
This command allows specification of a set of active load cases.
All load cases made active by this command remain active until a
new load list is specified.
General format:
⎧load-list ⎫
LOA
D LIST ⎨ ⎬
⎩
ALL
⎭
Description
This command is used to activate the load cases listed in this
command and, in a sense, deactivate all other load cases not listed
in this command. In other words, the loads listed are used for
printing output and in design for performing the specified
calculations. When the PERFORM ANALYSIS command is used,
the program internally uses all load cases, regardless of LOAD
LIST command, except after a CHANGE command. In these two
cases, the LOAD LIST command allows the program to perform
analysis only on those loads in the list. If the LOAD LIST
command is never used, the program will assume all load cases to
be active.
Example
LOAD LIST ALL
PRINT MEMBER FORCES
LOAD LIST 1 3
PRINT SUPPORT REACTIONS
CHECK CODE ALL
