This command is deprecated but can be found in old tcl scripts. It is replaced with setoption load_size_magnitude, *setoption load_size_type, setoption load_size_uniform

*loadsize
Sets the display size of loads.

Syntax
*loadsize config size option scale

Inputs
config
The load config to set. Valid values are:
1 – forces
2 – moments
3 – constraints
4 – pressures
5 – temperatures
6 – fluxes
7 – (unused)
8 – velocities
9 – accelerations
Currently, only constraints are independently controlled. All other configs are controlled together.
size
The size in model units in which the loads should be drawn. Only valid if option is set to 0.
option
Flag indicating whether to use uniform size or magnitude. Valid values are:
0 – Uniform size
1 – Magnitude
scale
The scale of the magnitude in which the loads should be drawn. Only valid if the option is set to 1. Not valid for config 3.

Examples:

To set the load size for constraints to 10.0:

*loadsize 3 10.0 0 0

To set the load size for forces to 100% of the magnitude:

*loadlabel 1 0 1 1.0

To set the load size for forces to 50% of the magnitude:

*loadlabel 1 0 1 0.5
