Enhanced Remote Load/Mass PropertyManager

The Remote Load/Mass PropertyManager is redesigned to improve the user experience and enhanced with the introduction of distributed coupling for linear static, nonlinear static, and topology studies.

To access the Remote Load/Mass PropertyManager:

From a linear static, nonlinear static, or topology simulation study tree, right-click External Loads, and click Remote Load/Mass .
