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. |
