# MPTE Load Case \[MPTE]

### Pile Load:

All values can be entered according to global coordinate system. This loading is only applied to the pile heads.

**Fx (Global):** Applied force along the global X axis at the pile head.

**Fy (Global):** Applied force along the global Y axis at the pile head.

**Fz (Global):** Applied vertical force at the pile head. Positive values act in the +Z direction.

**Mx (Global):** Applied moment about the global X axis at the pile head.

**My (Global):** Applied moment about the global Y axis at the pile head.

**Mz (Global):** Applied moment about the global Z axis at the pile head.

### General:

**Nonlinear (readonly)\[Yes/No]:** Indicates whether the analysis is nonlinear. MPTE load cases are always nonlinear; the value is fixed to Yes and cannot be changed.

**Maximum # of Iterations:** Iterations are used to ensure equilibrium is satisfied at each step of the analysis with the specified **Force Tolerance** and **Displacement Tolerance**.

**Force Tolerance:** Specify the convergence tolerance for force. You may want to use smaller values to get good results for large displacement problems. However, values that are too small may affect the convergence of the structure. Try decreasing the value until you get consistent results.

**Displacement Tolerance:** Specify the convergence tolerance for displacement. You may want to use smaller values to get good results for large displacement problems. However, values that are too small may affect the convergence of the structure. Try decreasing the value until you get consistent results.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/minimum-pile-tip-embedment-workflow/mpte-mpte/mpte-load-case-mpte.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
