LCMIN

Minimum value of load case pointer range.

Maximum value of load case pointer range. LCMAX defaults to LCMIN.

LCINC

Value increment within range. Defaults to 1. LCINC cannot be negative.

Command Default

All load cases are selected.

Notes

Selects a subset of load cases for other operations. For example, to select a new set of load cases based on load cases 1 through 7, use LCSEL,S,1,7. The subset is used when the ALL label is entered (or implied) on other commands, such as LCFACT, LCABS, LCOPER, etc. Load cases are flagged as selected and unselected; no load case pointers (LCDEF, LCWRITE, LCFILE) are actually deleted from the database.

For details on using load case combination, see Creating and Combining Load Cases in the Basic Analysis Guide.
