What file would I edit to change the loads on the nodes to different sized loads? What if I wanted to have a P1 higher than P2?

Hello Jerry,
Apologies for the delayed answer.
You can modify the code that generates the Abaqus input file so that there are additional variables that determine the loads, just like the way in which the cross sections of the truss members are defined.
Apart from this, a more compact and integrated way would be to use the latest version of Abaqus2Matlab with which you can automatically edit ANY variable that is present in the Abaqus input file of the truss model, including not only cross sections and loads, but also its shape, dimensions, and material properties, etc.
If you would like to check the latter option I can assist you in the development of the code.
Best regards!
