- baselocationz
- The z-coordinate where the load on a component or set should display.
- component
- Pointer to the component when the load is applied to a component.
- curveid
- The ID of the curve defining the load magnitude when a curve has been used to define the load.
- element
- Pointer to the element when the load is applied to an element.
- flux
- The value of the flux load.
- inputsystem

- node
- Pointer to the node when the load is applied to a node.
- xscale
- The x scale or time scale of the load curve when a curve has been used to define the load.
