Requirements:
In order to transfer support forces from other models, two conditions need to be met:
- Both models must be in the same project (the same project ID).
- Both models must have different model ID's.
To ensure the models have different ID's, it is necessary to create each model via "File → New...". As an alternative, an existing model can also be saved as a copy via "File → Save As..."; thus, it obtains a different ID. The ID's can be viewed in the Base Data of a model.
Procedure
If the requirements are met, activate the "From Support Reaction..." option in the Nodal Load menu in the "child" model. In the corresponding new tab, where you have to specify the "parent" model (the model from which the load is transferred), the load (load case/load combination), and the node of the nodal support.
Please note that the loads can be applied more than once. The position of the node does not have to be the same as in the "parent" model.
When applying the load, the value "??" appears first. The correct value is only displayed once the respective load case has been calculated. This calculation also triggers the calculation in the "parent" model.
Changes in Source Model
If there are changes made in the "parent" model, the load in the "child" model is reverted to "??", provided that the "parent" model has been saved. A recalculation of the load case in the "child" model transfers the new values.
