Hi,

I have been trying to read surcae load (hflux) for each node from a text file through an array as well as text.I have tried following ways and resulted in errors couls some one help me a way in getting out of this trouble.

For example consider an array consisting of 199 rows and 2 columns.

1. *DIM,ABC,ARRAY,199,2
*VREAD,ABC(1,1),BOOK4,,,IJK,199,2
I got following error
**warning**
In the graphical user interface,the VREAD command can only be executed from an external file such as /INPUT or *USE. The command is ignored.

2. I generated a table consiting of elements in one column and hflux in another columns. But when i apply the load it is considering the load for the entie surface section.

An example code provided would be a great help

Thabks in advance
