This module is used in both the “ANSYS Eq. Static Analysis” and the “ANSYS Dynamic Analysis” menu options. The postfixes and extensions for the input and output files are set using the Location menu and Extension. All files generated by LOADGEN module will be placed in the directory of the active model.

LOADGEN does not have currently command to run directly from the command line do to the complexity of the user options that affect the input data. This module is used to compute seismic soil pressure on basement walls and slabs including soil material plasticity, foundation soil separation and sliding using refined ANSYS FE soil deposit models.
