Load Maps
Use the Load Map tool to import/create multiple channels (load histories) which are then paired with subcases/loadsteps to create the fatigue events.
The Load Map dialog consists of three parts. The top-left part is used to create, import, and manage the channels (load histories); the top-right part displays the available subcases; and the bottom part is used to create events.
The information displayed in this dialog is dynamic. The available options change depending on the load type and the channel type.
