I'm just wondering if anyone has lots of experience with the SC8R and can tell me if...

    Accessing external concentrated load values

    I'm wondering if it is possible to access the value of an external imposed load from a UEL fortran file during an increment of the Riks type loading. I can see that it is possible to access the current magnitude of distributed load and the current increment of the distributed load active on an...
