FSCALE

FSCALE, RFACT, IFACT
Scales force load values in the database.

Compatible Products: – | Pro | Premium | Enterprise | Ent PP | Ent Solver | –

RFACT

Scale factor for the real component. Zero (or blank) defaults to 1.0. Use a small number for a zero scale factor.

IFACT

Scale factor for the imaginary component. Zero (or blank) defaults to 1.0. Use a small number for a zero scale factor.

Notes

Scales force load (force, heat flow, etc.) values in the database. Scaling applies to the previously defined values for the selected nodes [NSEL] and the selected force labels [DOFSEL]. Issue FLIST command to review results. Solid model boundary conditions are not scaled by this command, but boundary conditions on the FE model are scaled.


Note:  Such scaled FE boundary conditions may still be overwritten by unscaled solid model boundary conditions if a subsequent boundary condition transfer occurs.


FSCALE does not work for tabular boundary conditions.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
