*equation()
Defines an equation load in HMASCII format.
Syntax
*equation (id,type,constant,independentnodexmax,dependentnode,dependentdof,collector)
Type
HyperMesh HMASCII
Description
Defines an equation load.
The *equation(), *inodes(), *idofs() and *icoeffs() blocks must be in the following order:
*equation()
*inodes()
*idofs()
*icoeffs()
Inputs
- id
- The ID of the equation.
- type
- The solver dependent type code for the equation.
- constant
- The constant for the equation.
- independentnodesmax
- The number of independent nodes.
- dependentnode
- The dependent node ID.
- dependentdof
- The dependent node degree of freedom.
- collector
- The ID of the collector that owns the equation.
Example
To create an equation with ID 300, type 1, constant 2.5, independent nodes 5-7 with DOFs 1, 3 and 5 and coefficients of 0.5 for all DOFs, and dependent node 350 with DOF 3 and coefficient 2.0:
*equation(100,1,2.5,3,350,3,2.0,5)
*inodes(5,6,7)
*idofs(135,135,135)
*icoeffs(0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5)Errors
