Data

Description

Iform

Formulation flag (Integer)

= 0 (linear):

= 1 (maximum):

WN1 = WM1  if

WN1 = WM2  if

= -1 (minimum):

WN1 = WM1  if

WN1 = WM2  if

Keyword3

A combination of X, Y, and Z:

X, Y, Z, XY, XZ, and XYZ

Keyword5

"GRNOD" or "NODES" defines the way to provide slave nodes

M1

First master node number.

M2

Second master node number.

IDi

Slave Node or node group identifiers (depending on Keyword5)

Comments

1.This card replaces /VEL/ALE Engine card from previous versions.
2.Using formulation Iform=0 requires an ordered node list. Using Iform=0 with Keyword5=GRNOD also requires an unsortable node group (refer to /GRNOD/NODENS).
3.RADIOSS will superimpose the grid velocities if different ALE links are defined in both Starter and Engine for the same node.
