&APPLY command


Q: Is there a problem with the &APPLY command? It appears that it is using the square of the fraction I tell it to apply.
REV 7.02

A: In fact, what your file contains is:

   &apply -fraction -load_group hullwl %prop%

   &apply -fraction -force #jyforce %prop%

Actually this is not a glitch - it is what you told MOSES to do! The first of these says to multiply the forces in load group hullwl by prop, the second one says to multiply the forces due to the load set #jyforce by prop. Thus prop for the first one and prop for the second one is prop**2.
