SEINTPNT

Subcase Information Entry

SEINTPNT - Selection of Super Element Internal Point

Description

The SEINTPNT command can be used in the Subcase Information section to select a set of interior DOF of super elements to be converted to exterior DOF.

Format

SEINTPNT = option

Example

SEINTPNT = 100

BEGIN BULK

SET,100,GRIDC,

+,10643,T1,10643,T2,10643,T3

GRID 10643 1 234 55 322

Argument

Options

Description

option

<SID>

No default

SID refers to the ID of a bulk card SET of type GRIDC.

Comments

1.	SEINTPNT can be used when CMS super elements in .h3d files are present in residual runs. After the conversion, these DOF are part of the analysis DOF and can be used as connection points, load DOF, response DOF during optimization.

2.	SEINTPNT is not supported for fluid grids.

3.	GRID point information for interior grids (that are to be converted to exterior grids) should be included in the GRID bulk data entry, which in turn should be included in the solver deck if SEINTPNT is used.
