Import Remote Loads from CSV

Apply remote Forces/Moments from an external comma separated values (CSV) file

Loads are mapped from the specified location to the closest part face. All loads and locations are specified in the global coordinate system. Multiple load cases can be specified in each CSV file, although only one may be applied at a time.

  1. In the Project Tree, open the Analysis Workbench.
  2. On the Analysis Workbench, select > Imported remote load.
  3. In the dialog, click the Import from CSV button.
  4. Browse to the desired CSV file in the File explorer.
  5. Click Open.
  6. In the Imported remote loads dialog, if more than one load case is present in the CSV file, select the load case to apply in the drop-down menu.
  7. Optional: If desired, edit loads.
    1. Select a row in the dialog and click Edit load.
      Tip: You can also double-click on a row to edit. Both methods will display a remote load dialog where all values can be adjusted manually.
    2. In the remote load dialog, edit desired values (remote load location, load values, and application faces/spots).
    3. Click OK.
  8. In the Imported remote loads, specify Coordinates, Force, and Moment units.
  9. Click OK.
    The load will be applied.
