SUBSEQ

Subcase Sequence Coefficients

Description: Specifies the coefficients for forming a linear combination of previous subcases.

Format:

Example:

SUBSEQ = -1.0, 1.5, 0.0, 3.0

Option Definition Type Default
Ri Coefficients of the previously occurring subcases. See Remark 4. Real 0.0

Remarks:

  1. The SUBSEQ command can only appear after a SUBCOM command.
  2. R1 to Rn refer to the immediately preceding subcases. In other words Rn is applied to the most recently appearing subcase and R(n-1) is applied to the second most recently appearing subcase, and so on. The comments ($) describe the following example.
    DISP = ALL
    SUBCASE 1
    SUBCASE 2
    SUBCOM 3
    SUBSEQ = 1.0, -1.0 $ SUBCASE 1 - SUBCASE 2
    SUBCASE 11
    SUBCASE 12
    SUBCOM 13
    SUBSEQ = 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0 $ SUBCASE 11 - SUBCASE 12
    or
    SUBSEQ = 1.0, -1.0 $ EQUIVALENT TO PRECEDING COMMAND
