Field |
Contents |
C |
Component number. (Integer zero or blank for scalar points, or up to 6 unique digits (0 < integer < 6) may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks for grid points. The components refer to the coordinate system referenced by the grid points.) |
Gi |
Grid or scalar point identification numbers. (Integer > 0, for THRU option, G1 < G2) |
1. | If the alternate format is used, all points in the sequence G1 through G2 are not required to exist, but there must be at least one boundary degree-of-freedom for the model, or a fatal error will result. Any grids implied in the THRU that do not exist will collectively produce a warning message, but will otherwise be ignored. |
2. | Refer to The Direct Matrix Approach in the User's Guide for more information on the use of this card. |
3. | A fatal error will be issued if the input contains ASET or ASET1, but PARAM, EXTOUT is not given. |
4. | When the SPSYNTAX setting on the SYSSETTING I/O option is set to CHECK (default) or MIXED, it is allowed that when grid lists are provided for a given component, that the grid references be either scalar points (SPOINT) or structural grid points (GRID) when the component is 0, 1 or blank; interpreting all of these as 0 for scalar points and as 1 for structural grids. When SPSYNTAX is set to STRICT it is required for grid/component pairs (G#/C#) that the component be 0 or blank when the grid references are to scalar points (SPOINT), and that the component be > 1 when the grid references are to structural grid points (GRID). When the component is greater than 1, the grid references must always be a structural grid (GRID). |
