+The load envelopes are computed for sensors specified in the 
+```dlctemplate.py``` file. The sensors are specified in a list of lists. The 
+inner list contains the sensors at one location. The envelope is computed for
+the first two sensors of the inner list and the other sensors are used to
+retrieve the remaining loads defining the load state occurring at the same 
+instant. The outer list is used to specify sensors at different locations.
+The default values for the blade envelopes are used to compute the Mx-My
+envelopes and retrieve the Mz-Fx-Fy-Fz loads occuring at the same moment.
