ResourcesMain Index xAbout This BookThe MSC.Nastran 2005 r3 DMAP Programmer' s Guide is a replacement for and update of the former Version 70.7 DMAP Modules and Data Blocks book. The chapters have been rearranged to make it easier to print this guide in two volumes. Contained in the first volume is material occasionally referenced by the user: the introduction to DMAP, syntax and concepts, data block descriptions, and NDDL statement descriptions. The second volume contains material that is more frequently referenced: the DMAP Module descriptions.Many new and useful utilities were added in Version 2001 and are briefly described in CONVERT(SElD=2*PElD) on page 46. Also, refer to the MD Nast ran 2006 Release Guide for changes in DMAP module formats that would affect upward compatibility of users' DMAP alters from Version 70.7 to Version 2001.The editor would like to thank Ms. Wendy Webb for producing the electronic form of this guide and Mr. Don Truitt for his expertise in the document production software. The editor would like to also thank Michael Fischer for managing this effort and making this guide more widely available than previous editions.Mike Reymond, Editor December 2005 Main Indexxi PrefaceList of Nastran BooksBelow is a list of some of the Nastran documents.

This section provides a summary description of the MD Nastran DMAP language, rules, and syntax. A DMAP program consists of a series of functional blocks called modules, each of which has a unique name and a specific function. Modules are executed sequentially; branching and looping operations are performed by DMAP control statements. Modules communicate through the MD Nastran Executive System (NES) via logical collections of data called data blocks and parameters. Data blocks come in two distinct forms: matrices that obey the rules of matrix algebra, and tables that represent a convenient collection of data items. Data blocks are given arbitrary names (mnemonic names are recommended) and have header and trailer information defining their characteristics.Parameters are scalar items used for specifying control, operation, or system characteristics. Modules can use input parameters, output parameters, or both. Input parameters affect the internal operation of the modules. Output parameters are used to control DMAP logic and/ or to pass scalar information to subsequent modules.Data blocks and parameters can be written onto either scratch or permanent physical files. When the normal MD Nastran execution is completed, data blocks and parameters written to scratch files are erased, and those written to the permanent physical file are available for future use. The NDDL (MD Nastran Data Definition Language) designates whether a data block is scratch or permanent. A detailed description of the NDDL statements can be found in NASTRAN Data Definition Language (NDDL) on page 833.MD Nastran provides the user with a variety of prewritten solution sequences. These solution sequences consist of a series of DMAP statements. MD Nastran allows the user to modify prewritten solution sequences or to write his or her own solution sequences using DMAP. The compilation, linkage, and execution of a DMAP program is specified by executive control statements in the input file. The creation of and access to databases is specified by file management statements also contained in the input file. File management statements are described in the File Management Statements in Chapter 2 of the MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide. Main Index3 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix Abstraction1.2 The MD Nastran DMAP LanguageThe basic components, or objects, of the DMAP language are:The basic syntax of the DMAP language is: The DMAP language uses free-field input format and is case insensitive. A physical entry consists of information in columns 1 through 72. Columns 73 through 80 can be used for comments, but these columns do not appear in the printed listing and are not stored on the database. For the specification of modules or statements, a parent entry continues to a subsequent entry if it terminates in a comma [ , ] or a slash [ / ], or if it is missing a right parenthesis [ ) ]. The dollar sign [ $ ] ends any DMAP instruction and causes all subsequent data to be treated as commentary. The recommended convention is to terminate all DMAP instructions with a dollar sign. DMAP symbolic names are used to identify variable parameters, data blocks, DBVIEW view-names, subDMAPs, or LABEL statements. A symbolic name is composed of alphanumeric characters 1 to 8 characters in length. The following characters are allowed: A through Z, and 0 through 9. The first character must be a character from A through Z.Parameters Scalar quantities used to control the flow of DMAP execution and to communicate options and/ or values to modules or functions.Data Blocks Tables or matrices represented by a symbolic name.Instructions Statements or modules that process parameters and/ or data blocks as input and/ or output.Main Index4 1.3 ParametersParameters can be either constants, variables, or expressions and can represent one of several types:Also, the real and complex types are either single or double precision. The following table indicates the storage units required as a function of data type. One storage unit is the basic word size on a computer. Typically, a word is 32 bits long on a short-word computer and 64 bits on a long-word computer.The type of a parameter must be declared in at least one of three ways:Type Description Example(s)Integer whole number 10 or -4Real decimal number that is a whole number and a decimal point, with an optional decimal fraction.27000. or 2.7E5 or 2.7D5Complex a pair of real numbers representing the real and imaginary parts of a complex quantity(1.1,2.3) or (1.D0,3.5D1)Logical represents either TRUE or FALSE TRUE or FALSECharacter a string of 1 to 80 characters 'GEORGE'TypeNo. of wordsInteger 1Real single precision 1Real double precision 2Complex single precision 2Complex double precision 4Logical 1Character 1 to 20Constant Inherent in its specification or constructionExplicit On a TYPE statement for variable parametersImplicit In a modules parameter list for variable parametersMain Index5 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionConstant ParametersA constant represents a fixed value and is a number (integer, real, or complex), logical, or character string.Integer ConstantsAn integer constant is a whole number with no decimal point. Its form is snnwhere:s is optional if the sign is positive (+). A minus sign must be used to indicate a negative integer constant. The absolute value of an integer constant cannot be greater than Real ConstantsA real constant is a whole number with a decimal point that can be followed by a decimal fraction and/ or a decimal exponent. The complete form is:where:s is optional if the sign is positive (+). A minus sign (-) indicates a negative real constant or negative exponent. D is required to specify double precision. E is optional if no exponent is required and the constant is single precision. However, if either E or D is specified, then an integer must follow, even if the exponent is 0.Only the leftmost 14 digits in nn.dd are used by MD Nastran. Leading zeros are ignored in counting the leftmost 14 digits.s = a sign, plus (+) or minus (-)nn = a string of digits (0 through 9)snn.ddEsee for single precisionsnn.ddDsee for double precisions = a sign, plus (+) or minus (-)nn, dd, ee = strings of digits (0 through 9)E or D = that snn.dd is multiplied by ee raised to the power of 10. E indicates single precision, and D indicates double precision.2311 214748367. = Main Index6 Complex ConstantsA complex constant is a pair of real constants separated by a comma and enclosed in parentheses. The first real constant represents the real part of the complex number, and the second real constant represents the imaginary part.Logical ConstantsA logical constant is specified as TRUE or FALSE.Character ConstantsA character constant is a string of 1 through 80 characters that may have embedded blanks. A character constant must also be enclosed by right hand single quotation marks.Variable ParametersA variable parameter is represented by a symbolic name, and its value may change during the DMAP execution. The name of a variable parameter does not have to be unique with respect to symbolic names for modules, data blocks, subDMAPs, or LABELs. The name of a variable parameter cannot be NOT, AND, XOR, OR, or EQV. Variable parameters can have their attributes (type, authorization, and default) set explicitly with a TYPE DMAP statement or implicitly by a module. (Variable parameters that are saved on the database must also be designated as NDDL parameters in the TYPE DMAP statement). Variable parameters that are not specified with a TYPE DMAP statement use the attributes from the DMAP instruction where the parameter first appears.All variable parameters that are used as input to a DMAP instruction must be initialized on a TYPE statement or previously defined in one or more of the following: Assignment (=) statement output DMAP module output with "S,N" prefix CALL statement output with "S," prefix SUBDMAP statement parameter listIf one or more of the above is not satisfied, then User Fatal Message 439 will be issued during DMAP compilation.Main Index7 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionValue of a Variable ParameterDuring a DMAP execution or when restarting a DMAP from the database, the value of a variable parameter is determined by the first applicable value on the following sequential list:1. Value from the most recently executed assignment DMAP statement or the most recently executed save function (S,N prefix. See DMAP Modules and Statements on page 851).2. Value from the PARAM Bulk Data entry, if the parameter NAME has the Yauthorization.3. Value saved on the database, if the parameter NAME is listed with an NDDL TYPE DMAP statement and the run is a restart.4. Value from the NAME=v, if present in a non-NDDL parameter TYPE instruction. This value is determined at DMAP compile time from the TYPE instruction (regardless of its location in DMAP) that contains the statement.5. Default value from the NDDL, if the NDDL keyword is specified on the TYPE DMAP statement. Parameters listed in the NDDL always have a default value of zero, blank, or FALSE, unless a value is explicitly given in the PARAM NDDL statement.Determining the current value of a variable parameter is also summarized in the following table.TYPEd and NDDL TYPEd and Not NDDL Not TYPEdLast executed assignment statement or module output with "S,N," prefix or CALL statement output with "S," prefix. The qualifier values for NDDL parameters cannot change.Bulk Data PARAM entry override, if parameter is type Y and has not been previously reassigned in an assignment (=) statement (unless the PVT module has been executed to reset the Bulk Data and Case Control PARAM entries).Value on the data base name=vfrom its first occurrence in a TYPE statementWill cause UFM 439NDDL default value TYPE statement defaultMain Index8 Predefined Variable ParametersThe program predefines the value of some variable parameters. It is not necessary to type these parameters with a TYPE DMAP statement, nor is it possible to change their type. We do not recommend changing these parameter values. The predefined variable parameters are:Initial values for variable parameters can be specified using the PARAM Bulk Data entry or the PARAM Case Control command.Parameter values from the Bulk Data Section are brought into the DMAP sequence via the IFP module. Parameter values from case control are brought into the DMAP sequence via the PVT module. The PVT module reads the case control PARAM commands and resolves parameter values specified in both the Case Control and Bulk Data Sections.Recommended Parameter Type SpecificationFollow these recommendations to produce a more readable DMAP sequence where all Y parameters and parameters with non-MPL defaults are specified on TYPE statements. If the parameter's value is to be specified in the Case Control or Bulk Data Section, then type the parameter near the top of the DMAP sequence:TYPE PARM,,type,Y,param_name $ If the parameter's default value is defined on the NDDL PARAM statement and you wish to use the NDDL default value, then type the parameter near the top of the DMAP sequence:TYPE PARM,NDDL,type,Y,param_name $ If the desired default value differs from the MPL default, then specify the parameter and the default value on a TYPE statement:TYPE PARM,,type,Y,param_name=default_value $NAME VALUE TYPEALWAYS -1 IntegerNEVER +1 IntegerTRUE TRUE LogicalFALSE FALSE *LogicalNOGO 0 IntegerMain Index9 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix Abstraction Specify in module instructions, as needed, "/ param_name/ " or "/ S,N,param_name/ " Do not use the following obsolete parameter prefix specifications in module instructions:For example, the following sequence is recommended for setting the TYPE of ALPHA:and the following is not recommended:Expressions and OperatorsAn expression represents a single value and consists of one or more constant and/ or variable parameters separated by operators. Expressions are classified as arithmetic, relational, logical, or character. Arithmetic expressions produce numerical values; relational and logical expressions produce logical values.

Parentheses are used to change the order of precedence. Operations within parentheses are performed first, with the usual order of precedence being maintained within the parentheses.In general, mixed mode expressions are not supported. For example, to compute A=B*C, where A and B are complex, but C is real, it is necessary to convert C to a complex number: A=B*CMPLX (C), where CMPLX is described under Intrinsic Functions in this section.Character OperatorThe only character operation is concatenation. Its form is shown below.Operator Operation Sample Expressions Interpreted As-,+ Negative or Positiveimmediately precededby exponentiationX-Y X(-Y)** Exponentiation -X**Y -(X**Y)-,+ Negative or Positive -X - Y (-X) - Y*, / Multiplication or DivisionX*Y+Z (X*Y)+Z+,- Addition or Subtraction X+Y X+YOperator Operation Sample Expressions& Concatenation ABC & DE = ABCDEMain Index11 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionRelational OperatorsRelational operators are used to compare two expressions. The result of the comparison is a logical TRUE or FALSE. When arithmetic and relational operators are combined in one expression, the arithmetic operations are performed first. The table below shows the allowable relational operators.Logical OperatorsLogical operators perform tests on multiple relations or Boolean operations. A logical operator returns a result that is either TRUE or FALSE. The outcome of a logical operation is determined as shown in the table below. These outcomes are listed in order of precedence.

All data blocks are comprised of records. Each record can contain a variable number of words.The first record ("Record 0") is called the header record, of which the first two words (when concatenated) form the name of the data block. The third and subsequent words are not usually used. The subsequent records are sometimes called "data records." For tables the data record can contain a mixture of any type of data; i.e, real, integer, complex, character, etc. For matrices the data record corresponds to the nonzero values in the column of the matrix; e.g., record 3 corresponds to the nonzero values in column 3. The last record is called the trailer record and contains summary information about the table or matrix. More detailed descriptions of a data blocks records are appear in Data Blocks on page 47.Table TrailersIn tables, the trailer record contains six words. The contents vary among the tables and are described in Data Blocks on page 47 at the end of the tables description. Table trailers are printed when DIAG 15 is specified in the Executive Control or DIAGON(15) is specified in the DMAP sequence.Matrix TrailersIn matrices the characteristics of a matrix are described in a twelve-word matrix trailer. Matrix trailers are printed when DIAG 8 is present in the Executive Control Section DIAGON(8) or is specified in the DMAP sequence. The contents of a matrix trailer are as follows:Word Contents1 Number of columns in matrix2 Number of rows in matrix3 Form of the matrix (square, rectangular, etc.)4 Type of matrix (real, complex, etc.)5 Largest number of nonzero words among all columns6 Density of the matrix multiplied by 10000Main Index14 Form is defined as one of the following:Type is defined as one of the following:7 Size in blocks8 Maximum string length over all strings9 Number of strings10 Average bandwidth11 Maximum bandwidth12 Number of null columnsForm Meaning1 Square2 Rectangular3 Diagonal4 Lower triangular factor5 Upper triangular factor6 Symmetric8 Identity9 Pseudoidentity10 Cholesky factor11 Trapezoidal factor13 Sparse lower triangular factor 15 Sparse upper triangular factorType Meaning1 Real, single precision2 Real, double precision3 Complex, single precision4 Complex, double precisionWord ContentsMain Index15 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionData Block Type and StatusThe data block type depends on whether the data block is stored on a permanent or scratch DBset and whether its name appears on a TYPE DB statement. A DBset is a physical file that is a subdivision of the database; see Chapter 12 of the MD Nastran Reference Manual.There are three types of DMAP data blocks:At any point during a DMAP execution a data block is in one of the three following states:Permanent blocks can have all states: generated, not generated, and empty. Empty data blocks are created when a module is executed, but no data is actually generated for the data block. For example, the ADD module has two inputs; if both inputs do not exist (not generated), then the output is empty or purged. Empty data blocks are required to support automatic restarts. A permanent data block can be explicitly purged with the PURGEX statement. Permanent data blocks can be deleted from the database with the DELETE statement.Scratch data blocks can have only two states: generated and not generated. These data blocks can be deleted with the DELETE or PURGEX statements.Permanent NDDL Referenced on a TYPE DB statement and assigned to a permanent DBset through the NDDLScratch NDDL Referenced on a TYPE DB statement and assigned to the SCRATCH DBset through the NDDLLocal Not referenced on a TYPE DB statement and automatically assigned to the SCRATCH DBsetGenerated The data block has been created.Not generated The data block has been deleted or is not yet created.Empty The data block has been created but has no data (or purged). In other words, the name of the data block is stored on a permanent DBset without any associated data.Main Index16 1.5 InstructionsA DMAP instruction can be classified as either a module or a statement. A module is similar to a "macro" function and, in general, processes data blocks as input and/ or output. A module may also have parameters as input and/ or output. A statement is any instruction that is not a module and that does not operate on data blocks.ModulesA module instruction has the following form: the name of the module followed by a comma [,] and a list of input data block names separated by commas, a slash [/ ], a list of output data block names separated by commas, a slash, and a list of parameter (variable names or constants) separated by slashes:The dollar sign [$] is required to terminate the module instruction. The modules are described in Detailed Descriptions of DMAP Modules and Statements on page 860. Most modules have a prescribed number of inputs, outputs, and parameters, which are defined in the Module Property List (MPL). The MPL is an internal MD Nastran table that prescribes the exact format of all modules--the number of input and output data block lists and the number, type, and default of the parameters in the parameter list. The MPL can be listed by specifying DIAG 31 in the Executive Control Section. The position of the data block and parameter names is critical to the proper execution of the module.Below is an example using the MPYAD module, which performs the following matrix operation:[D] = SIGNAB*[A][B] + SIGNC*[C]or[D] = SIGNAB*[A]T[B] + SIGNC*[C]where [A], [B], [C] and [D] represent matrices, and SIGNAB and SIGNC represent the sign to be applied to the product and additive matrices, respectively.The format of the MPYAD module is:MPYAD , A , B , C / D / T / SIGNAB / SIGNC / PREC / FORM $module_name , input_data_block_list /output_data_block_list / parameter_list $ Main Index17 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix Abstractionwhere A, B, and C, represent the input data block names, D represents the output data block name, and T, SIGNAB, SIGNC, PREC, and FORM represent the parameter names. The MPL listing for the MPYAD and PARAML modules appears below:Listing 1-1 Module Properties ListThe MPL listing contains useful information under the following column headers:The other column headers are less important to the DMAP programmer.

If a parameter is unspecified, then the default value is assumed and obtained from the MPL. For example,MPYAD A , B , / D $According to the MPYAD module description, if C is unspecified, then only the matrix multiplication of A and B is performed. Also, by default, T=0 and therefore A is not transposed. SIGNAB and SIGNC parameters are defaulted to 1 resulting in:[D] = [A][B]However, if no default is defined in the MPL, then a constant or variable parameter must be specified for the first parameter. For example, -- NO DEFAULT -- on the PARAML module indicates there is no default value for the first parameter.The first comma after the module name can be omitted as long as the first input data block name is specified. For example, the ELTPRT module has the following format:To obtain a printout of the elements connected to each grid point, only GPECT and BGPDTS need to be specified; however, a comma must also be specified after the module name:In addition, trailing commas can be left unspecified:Parameters can be specified on a module as: Input only Input and output Output onlyEach module has its own rules for parameter specification, as described in Detailed Descriptions of DMAP Modules and Statements on page 860. If a parameter is specified as input, then either a constant or variable can be specified. Note that character strings or variables specified for parameters are limited to eight characters in length.ELTPRT ECT,GPECT,BGPDT,UNUSED4,EST,CSTM,MPT,DIT,CASECC/VELEM/PROUT/S,N,ERROR $ELTPRT , ,GPECT,BGPDTS,,,,,,/ $ELTPRT , ,GPECT,BGPDTS,,,,,,/ $Main Index19 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionFor example, the first parameter of the ADD module specifies a scalar multiplier of 1+2i on the first input matrix:ADD A , B / C / (1.,2.) $or ALPHA:ADD A , B / C / ALPHA $If a parameter is to be used as both input and output, or output only, then a variable name must be specified and preceded by S, N,. For example, on the PARAML module, the fourth parameter, TERM, is an output parameter:PARAML A // 'DMI' / 4 / 7 / S, N, TERM $TERM is the value of matrix A at column 4 and row 7, which will be returned by the PARAM module for later use in the DMAP program. If the S,N prefix is omitted, then TERM is assumed to be input only, no fatal message is issued, and the TERM value is incorrect.StatementsA statement is any instruction that is not a module and that typically does not produce output data blocks from input data blocks or parameters. Another distinction is that a statement has no definition in the MPL (Module Property List). The different types of statements are: Assignment (=) Function Control Declarative Data Base FunctionAssignment StatementThe assignment statement evaluates an expression and assigns the resulting value to a variable parameter. This statement has the following form:v = e $where v is a variable parameter name, and e is an expression. The dollar sign [$] is required to terminate the statement. Assignment statements are arithmetic, logical, or character, depending on the type of the variable parameter. The type of the variable and the expression must be the same. In other words, no mixed mode specification is allowed. Main Index20 Type conversions can be performed with the INT, REAL, CMPLX, ITOL, and LTOI DMAP functions.For character assignment statements, if the length of the expression does not match the size of the variable, the expression is adjusted as follows: If the expression is shorter than the variable, the expression is padded with enough blanks on the right before the assignment takes place to make the sizes equal. If the expression is longer than the variable, characters on the right are truncated to make the sizes the same. Function StatementFunctions can only appear within an arithmetic or logical expression; they cannot be referenced within module or CALL statements. Execution of the function causes the evaluation of the function and returns a value to the referencing expression. Some functions, however, may appear as a DMAP statement without appearing in an arithmetic or logical expression. These functions are DIAGON, DIAGOFF, NOOP, PUTSYS, PUTDIAG, RDIAGOFF, and RDIAGON.The type of the value returned from a function is dependent on the type of the argument(s) supplied, in addition to the functional operation. In general, the precision (single, double) and form (integer, real, complex) of the result returned by the function carries at least as much information as the arguments supplied. For example, ACOS(X) is typed as follows:Returned values for character functions can be processor dependent.The following table shows the complete function library. The abbreviations in the far right column signify types:X ACOS(X)I RSRS RSRD RDCS CSCD CDMain Index21 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionAbbreviation TypeI IntegerR, RS, or RD RealC, CS, or CD ComplexA CharacterL LogicalFormat Definition ResultArgument Typeto Result TypeABSabsolute value if is I or R, if I to IR and C to RACOSarccosine where, if is I or RI and R to CC to CThe result is computed in radians.ACOSHhyperbolic arccosine I and R to RC to CFor real and integer arguments, values less than 1 result in errors.ANDLnumeric AND I, R, and C to LASINarcsin where, if is I or RI and R to RC to CThe result is computed in radians.ASINHhyperbolic sine I and R to RC to CATANarctangent I and R to RC to CThe result is computed in radians.ATAN2arctangent of quotient I and R to RC to Cx ( ) x xa2b2x + x a ib + =x ( ) x ( )1 cos1 x 1 xx ( )cosh1 x ( )x 1 x y , ( )TRUE if x 0 and y 0 x2 0 x1 x2 x1 a bi + = x2 c di + =a b 0 = = c da b 0 = = sign of c ( ) sign of d ( ) a b c d 0 = = 2 sign of a ( ) sign of b ( ) c d 0 = = 2 x ( )n 1 n 2number of bits per character ( )=c ( )Main Index23 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionCMPLXCMPLXconvert to complex See belowFor real arguments if one value is specified, the result is (value, 0). The precision of the complex number is dependent on the precision of the argument; i.e., integer and real single values create complex single results, and real double values create complex double results.For complex arguments only one value can be specified. The result is the value and type of the argument.Integer, real single, and real double values are allowed with two arguments only. The results are complex double if either or both arguments are real double. The results are complex single if neither argument is real double.CONCAT1(a1,a2) full word concatenationA to ACONCAT2(a1,a2) concatenation A to AAny trailing blanks of a1 are compressed to a single blank before a2 is concatenated.CONCAT3(a1,a2) concatenation A to AThe result is argument 1, with trailing blanks removed and argument 2 concatenated together.CONJGcomplexconjugate is conjugate toC to CCOScosine I,R to R, C to CThe angle must be in radians.COSHhyperbolic cosine I,R to R, C to CThe angle must be in radians.DBLEconvert to double precisionI to RD, R to RDC to CDInteger and real single values are converted to real double values.Real double values are not changed.Complex single values are converted to complex double values.Complex double values are not changed.DIAGOFF(x1,..) turn off DIAG TRUE if 0 < x1...xn0Use last RAND(x) asseed if x=0. If x0, and y0) is the same as SEID>0. Arithmetic operations and DMAP functions may also be specified in the where-expr (see Expressions and Operators on page 9).Main Index45 CHAPTER 1Direct Matrix AbstractionIf a qualifier in a where-expr is not a qualifier in the path of a specified item, then the where-expr is set to FALSE. If the where-expr does not contain a specification for all qualifiers in the path of an item, then the unspecified qualifiers will be wildcarded (i.e., quali=*, all values will be selected). The default values of qualifiers, PROJECT, VERSION, and DBSET are described under the statement in which the WHERE clause is specified.If where-expr is to be used on a DBVIEW statement to define an output data block from a module, then the following restrictions apply: The only operator allowed between qualifier assignments is the ";", for example, WHERE (SEID=10; PEID=20). Only one data block can be specified by the DBVIEW statement (families are not supported for output data blocks). PROJECT, PROJNO, VERSION where-expr modifier "WILDCARD" and the use of qualifier_name=* are not allowed in the where-expr.Examples of the WHERE clause are:1. Select all items in the database for all superelements except 10 and 30 from Version 1.WHERE (VERSION=1 AND SEID>0 AND NOT(SEID=10 OR SEID=30))2. Select all entries in database on DBSET=DBALL from all projects and versions.WHERE(PROJECT=PROJECT AND VERSlON>0 AND DBSET=DBALL)The CONVERT clause modifies project- and version-ID, DBset-name (see INIT on page 95 of the MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide statement), and qualifier values of items selected by the WHERE clause on the DBEQUIV statements. It contains one or more assignment statements separated by semicolons. The format of CONVERT clause is:CONVERT(PROJECT=project-expr; VERSION=version-expr; , DBSET=DBset-expr;quali=qual-expri[;...])The PROJECT and VERSION statements modify the project-identification number(see PROJ on page 101 of the MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide statement) and version-ID. The DBSET statement modifies the DBset-name. The value of quali will be replaced by qual-expri for selected items that have quali in their path. qual-expri is any valid expression (see Expressions and Operators on page 9 containing constants or any qualifier name defined in the path of the item. If qual-expri contains names of qualifiers not in the path of the selected item, then a fatal message is issued. Main Index46 If project-expr and/ or version-expr produces a project- or version-identification numberthat does not exist, then one will be created. Also, all version-lDs less than version-expr that do not exist will be created; but they will be empty.Examples of the CONVERT clause are:1. Set qualifiers SEID, PEID, and SPC to constants 10, 20, 102 respectively.CONVERT(SEID=10;PEID=20;SPC=102)If more than one value of a qualifier is found for an item by the WHERE clause, then each value is processed in qual-expri to define the new qualifier value for each of the selected items. In the example below, if the original values of PEID were 1, 2, and 3, then the new values for the SElD qualifier will be 2, 4, and 6.2. Set all values of qualifier SElD to be twice the value of the PEID qualifier.CONVERT(SElD=2*PElD)Main IndexMD Nastran 2006 DMAP Programmers GuideCHAPTER2 Data BlocksI IntroductionI Matrix Data BlocksI Table Data BlocksI Table DescriptionsI Data Block DescriptionsI Data Block GlossaryI Parameter GlossaryMain Index48 2.1 IntroductionData block descriptions are provided for all matrices and tables that are currently processed by the OUTPUT2 and DBC modules in the MD Nastran solution sequences with PARAM,POST.Main Index492.2 Matrix Data BlocksThe rows and columns of most matrices correspond to degree-of-freedom sets which are defined in the USET table. Matrices are usually named according to __rc where r and c are the names of the degree-of-freedom sets for the row and column, respectively. For example, the rows and columns of KFS correspond to the f-set and the s-set.The rows and columns corresponding to degree-of-freedom sets are ordered according to an ascending internal point identification number sequence. This is the same as the external (user-assigned) grid point identification number sequence unless resequencing is requested (PARAM,OLDSEQ,>-1).Some matrices are also named with pseudo-degree-of-freedom set names.w -- The set omitted after auto-omit (a-set combines x-set and w-set)x -- The set retained after auto-omit (complement of w-set)J -- Superelement interior degrees-of-freedom; for example, KJJ and PJH -- Modal degrees-of-freedom; for example, PHDH, MHH, PHF and UHFIn some matrices, the columns correspond to subcases, normal modes, time steps, or forcing frequencies. These matrices are usually related to loads and solutions and named __r__ where r is the name of the degree-of-freedom set. For example, PG is static loads applied to the g-set and PHA is the a-set eigenvector matrix. In frequency and transient response, a "F" or "T" may also be added to the name. For example, UDF and UDT are the solution matrices at the d-set for frequency and transient response.In transient response analysis, the columns of the solution matrix U_T correspond to "time step triplets". The first column in the triplet represents displacement, then velocity and acceleration. The triplet is then repeated for each time step. For example, if there are 10 time steps, then U_T will have 30 columns. If multiple TSTEP command subcases are requested, then there will be a separate solution matrix for each subcase. Analysis Type Columns correspond to ascendingLinear Statics Subcase identification numberNonlinear Statics Loop identification numberNormal or Complex Eigenvalues Mode numberFrequency Response Subcase identification numberand forcing frequency valueTransient Response Time step valueMain Index50 The columns of the dynamic load, MPCForce, and SPCForce matrices; P_T, QM_T, and Q_T, correspond to time step and, using the example above, they will each have 10 columns.In frequency response analysis, the columns of the dynamic load, MPCForce, SPCForce, and solution matrices (P_F, QM_F, Q_F, and U_F), correspond to forcing frequency. If multiple dynamic load (DLOAD) subcases are requested with NFREQ number of forcing frequencies, the first NFREQ columns represent the first DLOAD subcase and NFREQ frequencies, the second NFREQ columns the second subcase, etc. For example, if an analysis is performed with four forcing frequencies and three DLOAD subcases, then the solution matrix will have 12 columns in which the first four columns correspond to all forcing frequencies in the first subcase. If multiple FREQUENCY command subcases are requested, then there will be a separate solution matrix for each subcase. For a description of matrix trailers, see Data Blocks on page 13.Main Index512.3 Table Data BlocksThis section discusses common attributes across several tables: IFP tables OFP tables Element types See Table Descriptions on page 71.IFP TablesThe IFP module processes the Bulk Data Section and creates data blocks that contain images of each Bulk Data entry. Then the modules IFP2 through IFP9, MODEPT, MODGM2, GP0, SEQP, and MODGM4 create pseudo-images based on the presence of elements used in hydroelastic, axisymmetric, laminated composite, composite beam, acoustic, hyperelastic, beam library and p-version analyses. For example, the IFP6 module converts PCOMP and MAT8 images to MAT2 and PSHELL pseudo-images. All of the tables produced by these modules are also called "IFP Tables". In an IFP Table, there is one record written for each image type present in, or derived from, the Bulk Data Section and that record contains all of the images for that type. If the image type is not present, then no record is written.IFP Table Header Words and Trailer BitsThe first three words in all IFP Tables uniquely identify or label the contents of the record and are called "header words". The second header word indicates a bit position, called a "trailer bit", in the table trailer. The trailer bit indicates the presence of a record type in the data block; i.e., if the record is present in the table, then the bit is turned on in the trailer.There are a total of 176 trailer bits. The first 96 trailer bits correspond to bit positions 1 through 16, numbered from the right, in each trailer word and beginning with trailer word 1. The second 80 trailer bits correspond to bit positions 17 through 32, numbered from the right, in each trailer word and beginning with trailer word 1. The table below shows that correspondence between a trailer bit and its word and bit location in the trailer.Main Index52 For example, the GRID record in the GEOM1 data block is assigned to trailer bit 45 that corresponds to the 4th bit position, numbered from the right, in trailer word 3. Based on the trailer bit, the following FORTRAN statements may be used to determine the corresponding trailer word and bit position:WORD = MOD(TBIT-1,96)/16 + 1BIT = 16*(1+TBIT/97) -- MOD(TBIT-1,16)where TBIT = trailer bit from second word of header recordWORD = trailer wordBIT = trailer word bit position numbered from the rightand all variables are defined as integers.Trailer BitLocation in TrailerWord Position1 -- 16 1 16 -- 117 -- 32 2 16 -- 133 -- 48 3 16 -- 149 -- 64 4 16 -- 165 -- 80 5 16 -- 181 -- 96 6 16 -- 197 -- 112 1 32 -- 17113 -- 128 2 32 -- 17129 -- 144 3 32 -- 17145 -- 160 4 32 -- 17161 -- 176 5 32 -- 17Main Index53OFP TablesHeader RecordThe header record of all OFP tables contains codes that indicate how the output should be labeled, formatted, and printed.Approach_CodeApproach_code indicates analysis type and device type(s).Word Name Contains1 approach_code Analysis type and output device type(s)2 table_code Header, labeling, and sort types9 format_code Data types (real or complex)11 stress_code Stress/ strain, von Mises/ max. shear, strain-curvature/ strain-fiber flags12 jflag Acoustic element output flag13 iacflg Acoustic displacement (pressure) output request flag:2 = Yes and 0 = No14 q4cstr CQUAD4 corner output stress option21 metrik Electromagnetic units code (1 thru 6 or 10, default=10)22 emssol Electromagnetic static solution code (0=CF+MAG,1=CF,2=ELEC,3=MAGN)23 thermal Thermal (heat transfer) element or scaled response spectra output:Bit Description 1 Thermal2 Scaled response spectra ABS3 Scaled response spectra SRSS4 Scaled response spectra NRL5 Scaled response spectra NRLOMain Index54 1.
