Is it possible to convert automatically generated loads?

[PatrickEC]

If I go to View -> Display -> Loads, I can check "Forces generated automatically" and see these loads. Is it possible to convert them to a new load case?

[Rafal.Gaweda]

I am afraid not.

You have to write API macro or copy them to Excell , adjust records.....copy back to Loads table

[PatrickEC]

How do I copy them to Excel? I can't figure that out.

I know how to copy data from a table, I just do not know where to find the table with the generated forces.

Sorry for not being more precise.

Good day Rafal,

Regarding the results obtained from ticking the box as shown above, is there a reason why the trapezoidal load bar number are not given, or am I missing something else?

Dear @hendre.knoetze

Some load types displayed using mentioned checkbox are in fact kind of internal load types, not available for user, so some data may be missing in table.

For example loads from claddings can be generated as 11 point trapezoidal bar load which does not exist in interface.

Hi Rafal,

Thank you for the reply.

Is there a way then that this information can be exported in some way? I want to obtain the automatically generated line loads on the beams to a format that can be converted to Patran Syntax as it is quite a challenge to convert the Robot panel loads to Patran Syntax.

Thank you

Hi @hendre.knoetze,

Have you tried this small but very powerful program?
