FEA Load

Structure for the load tuple = ("Load Name", "Value"). "Load Name" defines the reference name for the load being specified. The "Value" can either be a JSON String dictionary (see Section JSON String Dictionary) or a single string keyword (see Section Single Value String).

JSON String Dictionary

If "Value" is JSON string dictionary (e.g. "Value" = {"groupName": "plate", "loadType": "Pressure", "pressureForce": 2000000.0}) the following keywords ( = default values) may be used:

  • loadType = "(no default)"
    Type of load. Options: "Pressure", "Gravity".
  • groupName = "(no default)"
    Single or list of capsLoad names on which to apply the load (e.g. "Name1" or ["Name1","Name2",...]. If not provided, the load tuple name will be used.
  • directionVector = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
    X-, y-, and z- components of the force vector for a "Gravity" load.
  • gravityAcceleration = 0.0
    Acceleration value for a "Gravity" load.
  • pressureForce = 0.0
    Uniform pressure force for a "Pressure" load.

Single Value String

If "Value" is a string, the string value may correspond to an entry in a predefined load lookup table. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED!!!!
