LMC the Step field {1}

Assume the default value of load
direction (0,0,-1) which means that
the load will operate in the Z
direction and its sense will be
opposite to Z axis sense

Defines the step of a position change for the moving load

and the direction of load application.

LMC the Automatic option located in

the Application Plane field

Selects the plane of load application.

LMC the Parameters button

Opens the Route Parameters dialog box.

LMC the fields for the LR and LL

factors and enter the value 0.1

Defines the factors for the forces operating along the

vehicle movement route. It generates the forces originating
in vehicle braking, whose value equals 0.1*F.

Activate the following options:

Vehicle position limit route
beginning and Vehicle position limit
route end

Switching these options on assures that the forces defining

the load will not be positioned off the route limits defining
the movement of the moving load.

OK

Closes the Route Parameters dialog box.

Apply, Close

Generates the moving load case according to the adopted

parameters and closes the Moving loads dialog box.
