Ldtype

Load type:

SURF

 — 

Surface load.

VOLU

 — 

Volumetric load.

Load

Surface loads:

DISP

 — 

Displacement in a static analysis. Mode shape in a modal analysis.

TIME

 — 

Time. The unit for frequency is the inverse of the unit for time.

MASS

 — 

Mass.

TEMP

 — 

Temperature.

HFLU

 — 

Heat flux.

Volumetric loads:

DISP

 — 

Displacement.

FORC

 — 

Force

HGEN

 — 

Heat generation

Untype

Unit type:

COMM

 — 

Predefined unit

USER

 — 

User-specified unit

Name

Commonly used predefined unit name or user-specified unit name.

SI

 — 

International System of units (meter-kilogram-second) (default)

FT

 — 

English System of units (feet-pound-second)

In the SI system, surface loads are in units of m for DISP, degrees K for TEMP, and W/m2 for HFLU; volumetric loads are in units of m for DISP, N/m3 for FORC, and W/m3 for HGEN.

In the English system, surface loads are in units of ft for DISP, degrees F for TEMP, and BTU/sec-ft2 for HFLU; volumetric loads are in units of ft for DISP, pdl/ft3 for FORC, and BTU/sec-ft3 for HGEN. A pdl is a poundal, and 32.174 pdl = 1 lbf.

Notes

This command only specifies which unit labels are to be written to the file when the EXPROFILE is issued. It does not perform unit conversions.
