Subroutine Type

Utility/Data Access

Definition

Retrieves the number of modal generalized coordinates corresponding to a Body_Flexible element.

Use

The function can be called by any user-defined subroutine.

Calling Syntax

Fortran

CALL NMODES(ID, NQ, ERRFLG)

C

c_nmodes(id, nq, errflg)

Python

[nq, errflg] = py_nmodes(id)

MATLAB

[nq, errflg] = m_nmodes(id)

Input Arguments

[integer] ID

The identifier of the corresponding Body_Flexible element.

Output Values

[int] NQ

A scalar integer value that contains the total number of modal generalized coordinates for the flexible body.

[logical] ERRFLG

A value that is true if an error occurs during the call to NMODES.
