Notes
Valid for MPC184 (joint options in KEYOPT(1)).
In a mode-superposition harmonic or transient analysis, you must apply the load in the modal portion of the analysis. Mechanical APDL calculates a load vector and writes it to the MODE file, which you can apply via the LVSCALE command.
See FJDELE for information on deleting forces and moments.
