ID

Unique DLINK identification number.

(Integer > 0)

DDVID

Dependent Design Variable identification number.

(Integer > 0)

C0

Constant.

Default = 0.0 (Real)

CMULT

Constant multiplier.

Default = 1.0 (Real)

Comments

1.DLINK defines the relationship.

ddvid

This capability allows physical and non-physical design variables to be related such as shell thickness and interpolating functions.

2.CMULT and Ci can be used together to provide a simple means of scaling.
3.This card is represented as an optimization designvariablelink in HyperMesh.
