GRDSET

GRID Entry Defaults

Description: Defines default options for fields 3, 7, 8, and 9 of all GRID entries.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
CP Identification number of coordinate system in which the location of the grid point is defined. Integer ≥ 0 or blank 0
CD Identification number of coordinate system in which the displacements, degrees of freedom, constraints, and solution vectors are all defined at the grid point. Integer ≥ 0 or blank 0
PS Permanent single-point constraints associated with grid point (any of the digits 1-6 with no imbedded blanks). Integer ≥ 0 or blank
SEID Superelement identification number. Integer ≥ 0 or blank

Remarks:

  1. The contents for fields 3, 7, 8, or 9 of this entry are assumed for the corresponding fields of any GRID entry whose field 3, 7, 8, or 9 are blank. If any of these fields on the GRID entry are blank, the default option defined by this entry occurs for that field.
  2. Only one GRDSET entry may appear in the Bulk Data Section.
  3. The primary purpose of this entry is to minimize the burden of preparing data for problems with a large amount of repetition.
