Load Kenpave
Load Kenpave
The
number of lines, or load groups, is equal to NLG, as specified in the 'General' menu. Please
refer to Figure 3.8 for wheel and axle arrangements.
(2) LOAD (type of loading): Assign 0 for single axle with single tire, 1 for single axle with dual
tires, 2 for tandem axles, and 3 for tridem axles.
(5) YW (center to center spacing between two dual wheels along the y axis): Assign 0 if
there is only one wheel or LOAD = 0.
(6) XW (center to center spacing between two axles along the x axis): Assign 0 if only one
axle exists, i.e. LOAD = 0 or 1.
(7) NR (number of radial coordinates to be analyzed under a single wheel, maximum 25): A
single wheel with LOAD = 0 is a case of axisymmetry so the location of response points is
expressed in terms of radial coordinates. This column must be entered and cannot be left
blank.
(8) NPT (number of points in x and y coordinates to be analyzed under multiple wheels,
maximum 25): If LOAD > 0, the location of response points are expressed in terms of Cartesian
coordinates x and y. This column must be entered and cannot be left blank.
(9) After typing the data into a cell, press the Enter key to move to the next cell. If the cell
has a default value and you don't want to override it, use the arrow key to move to the next
cell.
(10) You can delete any line by first clicking any cell on the line to make it active and then
press the <Ctrl>-<Del> keys. The NLG in the 'General' menu will be reduced automatically by 1.
(11) You can add a new line above any given line by first clicking any cell on the line to make
it active and then press the <Ctrl>-<Ins>. A blank line will appear for you to enter the data.
The NLG in the 'General' menu will increase automatically by 1. If you want to add a line after
the last line, you can change NLG in the 'General' menu by adding 1 and a blank line will
appear as the last line. Remember that always use the <Ctrl>-<Ins> keys to add a line unless
the line to be added is the last line. By so doing, you don't have to retype any of the existing
lines.
(12) you can enter the auxiliary form of a given line without retyping the data for NR or NPT
by double clicking that line. Instead of double clicking, you can also enter the auxiliary form by
pressing the <Esc> key, but be sure to move the dotted rectangle to the line before pressing
the <Esc> key.
