FLLWER – Data Selection
The FLLWER command can be used in the Subcase Information section to activate node force recalculation in every nonlinear iteration for the nodes of elements for a subcase where the forces may be dependent on the deformation of the elements. It is used only for large displacement nonlinear quasi-static analysis subcases.

SID: |
Set identification of a FLLWER bulk data entry. |
1. | FLLWER bulk data entries will not be used unless selected in the Subcase Information section. |
2. | If a large displacement nonlinear static subcase contains a FLLWER subcase entry while PARAM, FLLWER is present in the deck, the follower force calculation parameters defined by the FLLWER bulk data entry (referenced by the FLLWER command) overrides the global follower force settings of PARAM, FLLWER, <-1, 0, 1, 2, or 3> for this subcase. |
3. | If FLLWER = option is present above the first subcase, it is applied to all large displacement nonlinear static subcases. |
