area number overwrite the constraints specified for a lower line number or area number, respectively.
The constraint specification issue order does not matter.
NoteAny conflict detected during solid model constraint transfer produces a warning similar to
the following:*** WARNING ***
DOF constraint ROTZ from line 8 (1st value=22) is overwriting a D on
node 18 (1st value=0) that was previously transferred from another
DA, DL, or set of DK's.Changing the value of DK,DL, or DA constraints between solutions may produce many of these
warnings at the 2nd or later solid BC transfer. These can be prevented if you delete the nodal D con-
straints between solutions using DADELE,DLDELE, and/or DDELE.
2.5.6. Forces (Concentrated Loads)
Table 2.3:"Forces" Available in Each Discipline (p. 32) shows a list of forces available in each discipline
and the corresponding labels. Any directions implied by the labels (such as FX, MZ, CSGY, etc.) are in
the nodal coordinate system. (See Coordinate Systems in the Modeling and Meshing Guide for a description
of different coordinate systems.) Table 2.4: Commands for Applying Force Loads (p. 32) lists the commands
to apply, list, and delete forces. Notice that you can apply them at nodes as well as keypoints.
