DLOAD Keyword in ABAQUS 1

[hiwiansys]

Hi All,

I have to apply pressure load (uniform) on certain element sets selected and the synatx I used is as below.

*Elset,elset=<Name of elment set>,generate
<first element number>,<last element number>,<increment>
*DLOAD,OP=MOD
<name of element set>,P,<pressure value>

I get an error message and analysis gets aborted saying

***ERROR: in keyword *DLOAD, file "plus_idp.inp", line 180705: The keyword is
misplaced. It can be suboption for the following
keyword(s)/level(s): substructureloadcase, loadcase, step

I request you to kindly help me with this problem.

Thank you

hi hiwiansys,

From the error messages, I can see that the place of option DLOAD is not correct. You should put *DLOAD in the history data, not within model data.
The history data is information after *STEP option while the model data is information before *STEP option.

Hope this help.

regards.
