Multiple load case analysis

A multiple load case analysis:

  • is used to study the linear responses of a structure subjected to distinct sets of loads and boundary conditions defined within a step (each set is referred to as a load case);

  • can be much more efficient than an equivalent multiple perturbation step analysis;

  • allows for the changing of mechanical loads and boundary conditions from load case to load case;

  • includes the effects of the base state; and

  • can be performed with static perturbation, direct-solution steady-state dynamic and SIM-based steady-state dynamic analyses.
