Generalized Degree of Freedom, Alternate Form
Description: Defines generalized degrees of freedom (q-set) to be used for dynamic reduction or component mode synthesis.
Format:
Example:
Alternate Format and Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | Component number of global coordinate. (Up to six unique digits may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks). | 1 ≤ Integers ≤ 6 | Required |
| Gi | Grid point identification number(s). | Integer > 0; G1 < G2 | Required |
Remarks:
- If the alternate form is used, points in the sequence G1 through G2 are not required to exist. Points that do not exist will be skipped.
- Degrees of freedom specified on QSET and QSET1 entries are automatically placed in the a-set.
- 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).
