*SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE
Begin the definition of a substructure load case.

This option is used to begin the definition of a substructure load case for the substructure currently being generated. It can be used only in a *SUBSTRUCTURE GENERATE analysis.

Products: Abaqus/Standard  Abaqus/CAE  

Type: History data

Level: This option is not supported in a model defined in terms of an assembly of part instances.

Required parameter:

NAME

Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the load case in *SLOAD option specifications when applying loads to the substructure during an analysis.

To define the loads: 

Enter any mechanical loading options (“Concentrated loads,” Section 34.4.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, and “Distributed loads,” Section 34.4.3 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide) or thermal loading options (“Thermal loads,” Section 34.4.4 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide) to define the loads forming the load case. Specify a magnitude for each load. This magnitude will be scaled by a magnitude and amplitude reference specified in the *SLOAD option. The load case definition continues until an option is encountered that is not one of the loading options. If boundary conditions are included in a *SUBSTRUCTURE LOAD CASE, they are always active, even if the *SLOAD option is not used.
