Create a Derived Load Case from a Load Case List

  1. From the Results toolbar, click Derived Load Steps .
    The Create/Edit Derived Load Case dialog is displayed.
  2. Click New to add a new derived load case is added to the Derived load case drop-down menu.
    The new load case is given the default name Derived Load Case "n", with "n" being the next number in the series.
  3. Select a load case/simulation from the regular load case list (located on the left-hand side of the dialog).
    Note: In the regular load case view, the load case list will only display the list of regular load cases (load cases which are obtained directly from the solver results). In the derived load case view, the load case list will only display the list of derived load cases (load cases which are derived from regular load cases).

    Currently, the creation of derived load cases is only allowed from regular load cases. The creation of derived load cases from other derived load cases may be supported in the future.

  4. Click the right blue arrow (add button).
    The selected simulation time steps included in the load case are added to the new derived load case.
  5. Select the simulation time steps you want to add to the new load case.
  6. Click Apply to create the new derived load case and remain in the dialog.
    Note: You can also click OK to create the new derived load case and exit the dialog.
