  2. If the LOCATE Subcase Information Entry is utilized within a single subcase, then all subcases in the model should have LOCATE entries referring to their corresponding LOCATE Bulk Data Entries.
  3. LOCATE entries are only supported in Linear Static subcases.
  4. The LOCATE entry can be used in conjunction with the SUBMODEL entry.
