    hi,
     
    Is there any example with BOLT, BOLTLD & BOLTFOR bulk entries?
     
    I try to use these commands in my simulation set up. Unfortunately I am getting below
    error.
     
    28908   SUBCASE 222717                                     
           28909    BOLTLD = 222717                                    
     *** USER FATAL MESSAGE 601 (IFP1D)
       THE KEYWORD ON THE ABOVE CARD TYPE IS ILLEGAL OR MISSPELLED.
           28910   $$----------------------------------------------------------------------    --------
           28911   $$           BULK DATA CARDS                         
           28912   $$----------------------------------------------------------------------    --------
           28913   BEGIN BULK               
     
    I used SOL101 with AUTOMSET YES param card.
     
    can you please help me?

    BOLTLD/BOLTFOR are NX Nastran bulk data entries. So if you run this with MSC Nastran then you will get a FATAL.
     
    In MSC Nastran there is only BOLT entry in bulk data entry. This does not require any call in Case control section. See earlier example attached again.
     
    Do not use AUTOMSET, YES.
