VII.4.2.3 Worksheet for Selection of load cases and associated parameters

One or several worksheets define selections of load cases and associated parameters. The first line is a title line. It also defines the names of parameters that are defined for each selected load case. The following lines define the load cases and parameters:

One notes that one load case can be defined in different “selection” worksheets with identical or different parameter values. The “TempLoad” parameter is used here to associate a load case name to an integer ID corresponding to the name of the temperature field used by Nastran to load the structure. This value is used by some post-processing functions to retrieve the temperature fields stored in an SQLite database. (See the “recoverTemp.rb” example in section IV.2.8.5.)

The “FEMDB” parameter name is a reserved one. It allows to force the association of one or several load cases to a particular finite element database. This can be handy when one tries to avoid the definition of too many different databases. The associated value is a String corresponding to the identifier attributed to the database in the databases and load cases definition worksheet.
