NASTRAN static force scale factor in FEMAP

[EKCP]

The NASTRAN Force card has a scale factor which applies to the whole force vector. How do I change this parameter in FEMAP without individually recalculating the force components?

Thanks!

Dear Eli,
The SCALE FACTOR is in the "MODEL > LOAD > COMBINE" command, you can scale any LOAD CASE to create a new one using this simply trick, FEMAP will multiply ALL the loads by this factor.
Or alternatively you can edit the NASTRAN INPUT DECK.
Best regards,
Blas.

can you not edit the load ?

Thank you Blas. That will do the trick.

rb1957: I have subcases with multiple loads that I would like to uniformly scale without individually recalculating each vector component.
