Attributes

anim_scale

Modifies a scale factor for magnifying the mode shapes during animation.  The default is anim_scale = 1.0

write_simulinkmdl

Modifies whether the A, B, C,and D matrices that are calculated are to be written out in Simulink MDL format or not.  Select from YES and NO.  The default is write_simulinkmdl = YES.

write_matlabfiles

Modifies whether the A,B,C,and D matrices that are calculated are to be written out into a file that can be read in by MATLAB.  Select from YES and NO.  The default is write_matlabfiles = YES.

write_eig_info

Modifies whether the eigenvalue and eigenvector data is written to a .eig file.  Select from YES and NO.  The default is write_eig_info = YES.

write_energy_dist

Modifies whether the modal kinetic energy distribution is written out to the solver log file and the *_linz.mrf output file.  Select from YES and NO.

The default is write_energy_dist = NO.

pinput_id

Modifies the plant input ID used for the B and D state matrices.  Can be optionally used with the write_matlabfile and/or write_simulinkmdl option.

poutput_id

Modifies the plant output ID used for the C and D state matrices.  Can be optionally used with the write_matlabfile and/or write_simulinkmdl option.

disable_damping

Modifies whether the linearization solver should disable damping from all force elements for the eigenvalue solution.

The default is FALSE; damping will be considered for the eigenvalue solution.

Comments

Otherwise, only the eigensolution is performed.

Example

<Param_Linear

    anim_scale          = "1."

    write_simulinkmdl   = ”NO”

    write_matlabfiles   = ”NO”

    write_eig_info      = "YES"

    write_energy_dist   = "YES"
