LCWRITE, LCNO, Fname, Ext, --
Creates a load case by writing results to a load case file.
LCNOArbitrary pointer number (1-99) to be assigned to this load case.
FnameFile name and directory path (248 characters maximum, including the characters needed for the directory path). An unspecified directory path defaults to the working directory; in this case, you can use all 248 characters for the file name.
The file name defaults to Jobname.
ExtFilename extension (eight-character maximum).
The extension defaults to the LCNO value
preceded by an "L" (for values 10–99) or by an "L0" (for
values 1–9).
--Unused field.
Creates a load case by writing the results data in the database to a
load case file. The database remains unchanged by this operation. A pointer
is also established to the written set of results on the load case file.
This pointer (LCNO) can then be used on the LCASE or LCOPER commands
to read the load case data into the database. By default, only summable results
data (such as displacements, stresses, elastic strains) and constant results
data (such as volume) are written to the load case file unless requested (LCSUM command).
Non-summable results data (such as plastic strains, strain energy), boundary
conditions, and nodal loads are not written to the load case file. The load
case file may be named by default or by a user name. Rewriting to the same
file overwrites the previous data. See the LCDEF command
for status and erase operations.
