Data Description SI Unit Example
Keyword3 A combination of X, Y, and Z:

X, Y, Z, XY, XZ, YZ, YX, ZX, ZY, XYZ, YXZ, . . .

  
Option Formulation flag (Integer)

= 0 (linear):

W N 1 = W M 1 + ( W M2 − W M 1 ) 1 N + 1

= 1 (maximum):

WN1 = WM1 if |WM1| > |WM2|

WN1 = WM2 if |WM1| < |WM2|

= -1 (minimum):

WN1 = WM1 if |WM1| < |WM2|

WN1 = WM2 if |WM1| > |WM2|

  
Keyword5 «GRNOD» or «NODES» defines the way of providing slave nodes  
M1 First master node number  
M2 Second master node number  
IDi Slave nodes identifiers or node group identifier (depending on Keyword5). 2  

Comments

  1. This card is obsolete. It is replaced by /ALE/LINK/VEL.
  2. Using Keyword5=«GRNOD» requires a single identifier ID1.
  3. Using formulation Iform=0 requires an ordered node list. Using Iform=0 with Keyword5=«GRNOD» also requires an unsortable node group (/GRNOD/NODENS).
