    First off, why?

    Second, if you want that then you will have to find the specifications on the maxsurf file format. Do you know anything about programming? If not, just load maxsurf and make a file.

    You dont have to use a hml file. Just set up your weight schedule in Excel and then copy and paste it into the load case Window in Hydromax. Copy and paste an existing schedule from Hydromax to Excel to get an idea of the format. Remeber you have to add the rows into the load case window before pasting into them.

    Not sure I follow you.
    1. Create a load case in Hydromax
    2. Add some sample loads
    3. Copy and paste that table to Excel
    4. Modify the table as required in Excel
    5. Add rows in Hydromax to match the number of rows in the Excel table
    6. Copy and paste the Excel data back into Hydromax.

    Thanks formsys!
    That way is OK, but I mean that I have a program out side Maxsurf. I use that to analys my work, after this program solve, I will use output data from it's and then make a file loadcase and then Maxsurf done! I hope you know what I mean, this situation I can not open Excel and pass to Loadcase Maxsurf interface because I need make lot of loadcase for my work ( I take lot of time). I want make loadcase files by code!!!
