Case Type: SUBCOM

[toast01]

Hi.

I want to use the SUBCOM option to define a combined loadcase. (see

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=351872)

However, the optionbutton is grayed out:

We're talking about a static analysis here.

I hope you can help me! It would save me a lot of time, everytime I edit a load definition I have to define the combined loads all over again.

Cheers

Hello!,
For Linear Static Analysis in NX Nastran, you have the choice of creating a “Stan­dard Case” or a “SUBCOM”, which is a combina­tion of other Subcases defined in your model.
You can use the SUBCOM command to create new subcases by combining other subcases. If not subcases exist, then SUBCOM is grayed.

Best regards,
Blas.

I got it! I did not have any subcases defined. I also just found out you can create a new subcase without the multiset command.

Thank you!

So I have another question now:

Is it possible to run te analysis and only get output sets from selected cases?

See image below. I only want ALS and SLS output, I do not want the analysis to run case 1 to case 4. However, I do not think I can delete case 1 to case 4? Because the Subcoms use this cases?

Thank you in advance!
