LCFILE
LCFILE, LCNO, Fname, Ext, --
Creates a load case from an existing load case file.
LCNOArbitrary (1-99) pointer number assigned to this load case.
FnameFile name and directory path (248 characters maximum, including the characters needed for the directory path). An unspecified directory path defaults to the working directory; in this case, you can use all 248 characters for the file name.
The file name defaults to Jobname.
ExtFilename extension (eight-character maximum).
The extension defaults to the
LCNOvalue preceded by an" L" (for values 10–99) or by an" L0" (for values 1–9).--Unused field.
Notes
Creates a load case by establishing a pointer to an existing load case file
(LCWRITE). This pointer (LCNO) can then be used
on the LCASE or LCOPER commands to read the load case
data into the database. This command is typically used to reestablish load case pointers in a
new Mechanical APDL session (pointers are not saved on the database file), or when more than one
pointer to a single load case is desired. See the LCDEF command for status
and erase operations. See also LCDEF to establish a pointer to a set of
results on a results file (written during the analysis solution phase).
For details on using load case combination, see Creating and Combining Load Cases in the Basic Analysis Guide.
