<ALL, SID > Default = ALL |
ALL: |
All design variables in the input data, as defined by DESVAR bulk data entries, are used in the optimization. |
SID: |
The ID of a SET Bulk Data Entry definition. Only those design variables, as defined by DESVAR bulk data entries with IDs appearing in the referenced SET entry are considered in the optimization. |
1. | Only one DESVAR command may appear in the Subcase Information section and should appear before the first SUBCASE statement. |
2. | The DESVAR command is optional. If it is absent, all DESVAR bulk data entries will be used. |
3. | DESVAR bulk data entries that are not selected by this command are frozen at their initial values (that is same as setting XINIT=XLB=XUB) and all referenced properties will still be governed by the DESVAR settings. |
