Summary

Creates or modifies a volume load which is not associated with any particular element and can therefore be freely placed at any location.

With the input of a volume load a selection of multiple element groups can be simultaneously loaded. Upon import, a volume load for each loaded group will be imported. The implemented load is interpreted as a fluid pressure with an initial value and a corresponding pressure increase in a given direction.

To describe the input posibilities:

The input of volume loads is only available in a 3D system. A detailed description of these properties can be found in the chapter ‘VOLU – Volume Loading’ of the manual SOFiLOAD.
