QSET

Generalized Degree of Freedom

Description: Defines generalized degrees of freedom (q-set) to be used for dynamic reduction or component mode synthesis.

Format:

Example:

Field	Definition	Type	Default
Gi	Grid point identification number(s).	Integer > 0	Required
Ci	Component number of global coordinate. (Up to six unique digits may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks.)	1 ≤ Integers ≤ 6	Required

Remarks:

1. Degrees of freedom specified on QSET and QSET1 entries are automatically placed in the a-set.
2. When ASET, ASET1, QSET, and/or QSET1 entries are present, all degrees of freedom not otherwise constrained (e.g., SPCi or MPC entries) will be placed in the omitted set (o-set).
