Load Table Import / Export

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifDefine or modify load sets through excel file like the usage of Load Table.

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifUsers can import the amounts of load sets from excel file and export defined load sets (node/element number, magnitude, and direction) to excel. The sample of table for load sets (LoadTable Sample.xlsx) can be found in the installation folder. (ex. C:\Program Files\MIDAS\GTS NX\Sample)

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifForce, Moment, Pressure, Prescribed Displacement and Element Beam Load are available to use this function.

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCan be useful when users have to manage (input and modify) large numbers of load sets at once.

 

Methodology

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifThere are limitations in this function as follows.

- Force / Moment : GCS (Global Coordinate System) is only applicable to import and export.

- Pressure : Axisymmetric type is not available. In case that users select Geometries (Edge, Face) to define load sets, these load sets cannot be detected when exporting load sets to excel, meaning that users must select element nodes or faces to define pressure load. In terms of direction, "Normal" and "Direction" are available.

- Only one excel file can communicate with GTSNX at the same time.
