Description

Single-point force of constraint

Single-point force of constraints for linear static analysis.

File Format

The SPC reaction force file has the following format:

For each iteration, the following header is used:

 

iter

Iteration

Numlds

where:


iter

is a keyword denoting the beginning of a new iteration.

Iteration

is the iteration number.

Numlds

is the number of subcases for which this output is created.

 

Each iteration section is divided up by subcase. Output for each subcase starts with a line in the following format:

 

Id

Number_of_nodes

Frequency

SPCF:Spc_id(Datatype)

subcase_label

where:

 

Id

is the output identification number for the subcase. This is not the same as the subcase ID used in the input data.

Number_of_nodes

is the number of nodes for which this output is requested.

Frequency

is 1.0 for static analysis.

SPCF

is a keyword declaring SPC-force information.

Spc_id

is the SID for SPC's referenced by this subcase.

Datatype

is a keyword indicating the type of subcase involved.

(LOAD) declares data is for a linear static subcase.

 

SPC-force information is then provided, for each node, in the following format:

 

Node_id

x-force

y-force

z-force

x-moment

y-moment

z-moment

where:

 

Node_id

is the node identification number.

x-force

is the x-translational component of the force at the node.

y-force

is the y-translational component of the force at the node.

z-force

is the z-translational component of the force at the node.

x-moment

is the x-rotational component of the force at the node.

y-moment

is the y-rotational component of the force at the node.

z-moment

is the z-rotational component of the force at the node.
