Add a Load Group () under the Global Definitions node to create a load group to which you can assign one or more loads. You can then activate the load group in one or more load cases for efficiently solving a structural mechanics or heat transfer model to analyze the effects of various loads or sources.

The Label is the default coordinate system name. The default Parameter name (for the first coordinate system in the model) is lg. This can be modified if you want to use a more descriptive parameter name (for example, lgGravity). You can also create load groups from physics nodes for structural mechanics and heat transfer that represent loads and support load cases: Right-click the physics node and choose Load Group > New Load Group.

In this section, a table shows the loads that have been added to this load group. If you have not included any loads in this group, the leftmost column is empty, indicating that no load is active in this group. You can select a load and click the Include to Group button () to include it as active in the group. Click the Reset to Default button () to reset the inclusion as active in the load group. Click the Go to Source button () to move to the node in the model tree for the selected load.
