  Hey,
  
  Is there a way to include loads (like nodal forces) in the export of an MNF-File?
  
  I try to create the MNF-File in APDL and the goal is to consider the effects of thermal Expansion (stress, strain etc) in the ADAMS-Model.
  
  Since the ADAMS-Macro, which writes the MNF-File, uses the CMS-Substructuring method (Component-Mode-Synthesis), there should be ways to define loads in the "Generation pass" of a superelement, which can be applied to the superelement in the "Use pass".
  
  I'll be thankful for any advice or hint you can think of.
  
  Kind regards,
  
  Jens
