Set identification of MBREQE or MBREQM Bulk Data Entries.

Comments

  1. Only one REQUEST entry can be present for each subcase.
  2. This Subcase Information Entry is only valid when it appears in a multibody subcase.
  3. If the SID referenced by the REQUEST Subcase Information Entry matches with the SID defined for an MBREQ Bulk Data Entry, the information on this entry alone is selected. However, if a MBREQ Bulk Data Entry does not have the referenced SID defined, any of the multibody motion entries: MBREQE or MBREQM which have this SID will be selected.
  4. If present above the first subcase, it is applied to each multibody dynamics subcase without a REQUEST entry.
