About This Book
The 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 Nastran 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.

1.1 Introduction
MD Nastran DMAP (Direct Matrix Abstraction Program) is a high-level language
with its own compiler and grammatical rules. 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.

1.2 The MD Nastran DMAP Language
The basic components, or objects, of the DMAP language are:
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.
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.

1.3 Parameters
Parameters can be either constants, variables, or expressions and can represent one of
several types:
Type Description Example(s)
Integer whole number 10 or -4
Real decimal number that is a whole number and a 27000. or 2.7E5 or
decimal point, with an optional decimal fraction. 2.7D5
Complex a pair of real numbers representing the real and (1.1,2.3) or
imaginary parts of a complex quantity (1.D0,3.5D1)
Logical represents either TRUE or FALSE TRUE or FALSE
Character a string of 1 to 80 characters 'GEORGE'
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.
No. of

Integer 1
Real single precision 1
Real double precision 2
Complex single precision 2
Complex double precision 4
Logical 1
Character 1 to 20
The type of a parameter must be declared in at least one of three ways:
Constant Inherent in its specification or construction
Explicit On a TYPE statement for variable parameters
Implicit In a module’s parameter list for variable
parameters

Constant Parameters
A constant represents a fixed value and is a number (integer, real, or complex), logical,
or character string.
Integer Constants
An integer constant is a whole number with no decimal point. Its form is
snn
where:
s = a sign, plus (+) or minus (-)
nn = a string of digits (0 through 9)
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
31
2 – 1 = 214748367.
Real Constants
A 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:
snn.ddEsee for single precision
snn.ddDsee for double precision
where:
s = 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.
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.
Main Index
6
Complex Constants
A 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 Constants
A logical constant is specified as TRUE or FALSE.
Character Constants
A 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 Parameters
A 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 list
If one or more of the above is not satisfied, then User Fatal Message 439 will be issued
during DMAP compilation.
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 7
Direct Matrix Abstraction
Value of a Variable Parameter
During 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
Y authorization.
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 TYPEd
Last 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=v Will cause UFM 439
from its first occurrence in
a TYPE statement
NDDL default value TYPE statement default
Main Index
8
Predefined Variable Parameters
The 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:
NAME VALUE TYPE
ALWAYS -1 Integer
NEVER +1 Integer
TRUE TRUE Logical
FALSE FALSE *Logical
NOGO 0 Integer
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 Specification
Follow 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 $
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 9
Direct 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:
/V,Y,param_name/
/S,Y,param_name/
/V,N,param_name/
/C,Y,param_name/
/C,N,param_name/
For example, the following sequence is recommended for setting the TYPE
of ALPHA:
TYPE PARM,,CS,Y,ALPHA=(1.,1.) $
TYPE PARM,,CS,N,ALPHAX $
.
.
.
ALPHAX=ALPHA $
IF( FLAG ) ALPHAX=CMPLX(BETA,GAMMA) $
.
.
.
ADD A,B/C/ALPHAX $
and the following is not recommended:
IF( FLAG ) PARAMR
//'COMPLEX'//BETA/GAMMA/S,Y,ALPHA $
.
.
.
ADD A,B/C/V,Y,ALPHA=(1.,1.) $
Expressions and Operators
An 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. An expression can contain
intrinsic functions. An expression is specified:
• In the right hand side of an assignment (=) statement
• As arguments for intrinsic functions
Main Index
10
• As logical expressions in control statements:
DO WHILE, IF, IF-THEN, ELSE IF-THEN
• As logical expressions in the WHERE clause of DBVIEW, DBEQUIV, and
DBDELETE statements
Arithmetic Operators
The allowable arithmetic operations are shown in the table below in the order of
execution precedence. 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.
Operator Operation Sample Expressions Interpreted As
-,+ Negative or Positive X-Y X(-Y)
immediately preceded
by exponentiation
** Exponentiation -X**Y -(X**Y)
-,+ Negative or Positive -X - Y (-X) - Y
*,/ Multiplication or X*Y+Z (X*Y)+Z
Division
+,- Addition or Subtraction X+Y X+Y
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 Operator
The only character operation is concatenation. Its form is shown below.
Operator Operation Sample Expressions
& Concatenation ‘ABC’ & ‘DE’ = ‘ABCDE’
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 11
Direct Matrix Abstraction
Relational Operators
Relational 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.
Operator Relation Tested Expression
= Equality X=Y
<>,>< Inequality X<>Y, X><Y
< Less than X<Y
> Greater than X>Y
< Less than or equal X<Y
> Greater than or equal X>Y
Logical Operators
Logical 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. 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.

1.4 Data Blocks
A data block is a table or matrix represented by a symbolic name. 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 block’s records are appear in
“Data Blocks” on page 47.
Table Trailers
In 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 table’s description.
Table trailers are printed when DIAG 15 is specified in the Executive Control or
DIAGON(15) is specified in the DMAP sequence.
Matrix Trailers
In 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 Contents
1 Number of columns in matrix
2 Number of rows in matrix
3 Form of the matrix (square, rectangular, etc.)
4 Type of matrix (real, complex, etc.)
5 Largest number of nonzero words among all
columns
6 Density of the matrix multiplied by 10000

7 Size in blocks
8 Maximum string length over all strings
9 Number of strings

CHAPTER 1 15
Direct Matrix Abstraction
Data Block Type and Status
The 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:
Permanent NDDL Referenced on a TYPE DB statement and assigned
to a permanent DBset through the NDDL
Scratch NDDL Referenced on a TYPE DB statement and assigned
to the SCRATCH DBset through the NDDL
Local Not referenced on a TYPE DB statement and
automatically assigned to the SCRATCH DBset
At any point during a DMAP execution a data block is in one of the three following
states:
Generated 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.
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.
Main Index

1.5 Instructions
A 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.
Modules
A 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:
module_name , input_data_block_list /
output_data_block_list /
parameter_list $
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 $
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 17
Direct Matrix Abstraction
where 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:

The MPL listing contains useful information under the following column headers:

IN Number of input data blocks
OUT Number of output data blocks
ID Parameter position
TYP type of parameter:
INT - integer
RSP - real single precision
RDP - real double precision
CSP - complex single precision
CDP - complex double precision
BCD - character
LOG - logical
DEFAULT Default value of parameter
The other column headers are less important to the DMAP programmer.
Main Index
18
Some or all data blocks and parameters can be left unspecified (or purged), according
to the module description in “Detailed Descriptions of DMAP Modules and
Statements” on page 860. 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:
ELTPRT ECT,GPECT,BGPDT,UNUSED4,EST,CSTM,MPT,DIT,CASECC/
VELEM/PROUT/S,N,ERROR $
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:
ELTPRT , ,GPECT,BGPDTS,,,,,,/ $
In addition, trailing commas can be left unspecified:
ELTPRT , ,GPECT,BGPDTS,,,,,,/ $
Parameters can be specified on a module as:
• Input only
• Input and output
• Output only
Each 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.
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 19
Direct Matrix Abstraction
For 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.
Statements
A 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 Function
Assignment Statement
The 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 Index
20
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 Statement
Functions 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:
X ACOS(X)
I RS
RS RS
RD RD
CS CS
CD CD
Returned values for character functions can be processor dependent.
The following table shows the complete function library. The abbreviations in the far

For 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.

MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide for a description of various system cells. System
cells 253 through 262 are reserved for the DMAP writer. This permits the DMAP
writer to pass parameter values in via the NASTRAN statement or between
subDMAPs.

Control Statement
The MD Nastran DMAP language contains control statements that perform
conditional branching and looping similar to those found in the FORTRAN
programming language.
The control statements are:

Conditional Execution IF
Unconditional Branching JUMP and LABEL
Conditional Branching IF( )THEN, ELSE IF( )THEN, ELSE,
and ENDIF
Looping DO WHILE and ENDDO
Calling SubDMAP Operations SUBDMAP, CALL, and RETURN
Suspension HALT
Termination EXIT and END
Conditional Execution -- IF Statement
The IF statement conditionally executes a single DMAP instruction:
IF ( logical expression ) instruction $
In other words, if the logical expression is true, then the instruction is executed.
Instruction is any DMAP module or statement, except a control statement or the FILE,
DBVIEW, TYPE and SUBDMAP statements. Examples include:
IF ( NOGOA=-1 ) ADD GOAT,GOAQ/GOA $
IF ( ERRFLAG<0 ) CALL ERROR //S,GO/ERROR $
IF ( A AND B ) X=2*Y $
Unconditional Branching -- JUMP and LABEL Statements
The JUMP and LABEL statements are analogous to the GO TO and CONTINUE
statements in FORTRAN, except the LABEL statement cannot appear above the JUMP
statement. For example,
JUMP n $
.
.
.
LABEL n $
where n is character string, up to eight alphanumeric characters in length, and the first
character must be alphabetic.
JUMP and LABEL can be used to jump out of a DO WHILE loop or IF( )THEN block,
but JUMP and LABEL cannot be used to jump into a DO WHILE loop or IF( )THEN
block.
JUMP can appear on an IF statement; however, in this case we recommend an
IF( )THEN statement.

The expression in the above example is a relational and/or logical operation that
results in a logical output of either TRUE or FALSE. The allowable relational and
logical operators are discussed under “Expressions and Operators” on page 9. There
is no limit to the allowable number of DO WHILE statements.
Scratch NDDL and local blocks (see page 15), which are first referenced and created
inside a DO WHILE loop, are automatically deleted at the end of the loop (see page
39). The FILE statement with the APPEND or SAVE keyword may be specified to
override the automatic deletion in order to "save" a scratch data block for subsequent
passes through the DO WHILE loop. See the APPEND and FILE statement
descriptions in “DMAP Modules and Statements” on page 851 for examples.
Calling SubDMAP Operations -- SUBDMAP, CALL, and RETURN Statements
The CALL and SUBDMAP statements allow for the definition of DMAP subprograms
called subDMAPs. The RETURN statement can be used in a subDMAP to return to the
calling subDMAP.
The SUBDMAP statement denotes the beginning of a DMAP subprogram, either a
main subDMAP or a called subDMAP. A main subDMAP can be invoked with the
SOL Executive Control statement and cannot have any arguments. A called
subDMAP may or may not have arguments and is invoked by a CALL statement in
another subDMAP, defined as the calling subDMAP.
The form of the SUBDMAP and CALL statements are:
SUBDMAP subDMAP-name [I1,I2,I3,.../
O1,O2,O3,.../
P1/P2/P3/... $]
CALL subDMAP-name [I1,I2,I3,.../
O1,O2,O3,.../
[S,]P1/[S,]P2/[S,]P3/...] $
where subDMAP-name is the name of a subDMAP. The arguments Ii, Oi, and Pi are
the list of input data block names, output data block names, and variable parameter
names or constant parameters. The specification of arguments is optional. If
arguments are specified, the CALL and SUBDMAP statements must agree in order, in
number, and, for parameters only, in type.
The linker checks for correspondence of the arguments. The linker also checks for
consistent parameter authorization if NASTRAN SYSTEM(147)=1. In addition, a
view-name defined by the DBVIEW statement cannot be specified in the argument
list.
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 35
Direct Matrix Abstraction
If an argument list is specified on the SUBDMAP statement, no argument can be left
unspecified. Also, all parameter arguments must be variable parameter names. Any
data block argument on the CALL statement can be left unspecified. Inside the called
subDMAP, the data block argument is treated as purged. All parameters must be
specified on the CALL statement, but the parameters can be either a variable
parameter name or a constant value. Also on the CALL statement, parameter values,
such as qualifiers or local parameters (which are computed in the called subDMAP),
can be returned to calling subDMAP by preceding the parameter name with "S,". This
method is called the save option. The save option is not required for parameters
specified on TYPE PARM,NDDL statements in the called subDMAP.
The RETURN statement can be specified anywhere in the subDMAP. This statement
terminates execution of the current subDMAP and resumes execution of the calling
subDMAP. If the RETURN statement is not specified in the subDMAP, all DMAP
execution is terminated at the END statement (discussed in the next section).
Below is an example using the SUBDMAP, CALL, and RETURN statements. The main
subDMAP is called MAIN and contains two calls to subDMAP TEST. In the first
CALL to subDMAP TEST, the second input and output data blocks are marked as ",,"
and are not generated. The value of Q1 is returned as computed in TEST. In both
CALL statements, the value of P2 is returned from TEST. Although Q3 may have
changed in subDMAP TEST, Q3’s value is not returned to MAIN. In the second call a
constant value of 0 is specified for P1.
SUBDMAP MAIN $ Main SUBDMAP
TYPE PARM,,I,N,Q1=5 $
TYPE PARM,,I,N,P1,P2,P3,Q3 $

The following should also be noted:
• The data block names specified on the SUBDMAP statement argument list
are called local names and will not appear in any diagnostic output.
Diagnostic output, such as data base directory print or DIAGs 8 and 15, only
indicate the top-level name. The top-level name is the name of the data block
in the highest CALL statement in which it appears. In the example above the
local names are X, Y, Z, etc., and the top-level names are A, B,C, etc.
• All input data blocks specified on a CALL statement must have been
previously defined by output from a module in the calling subDMAP or
from a previously specified CALL statement, or specified on TYPE DB
statements. See the “TYPE” on page 1789 statement.
• Recursive subDMAP calls are allowed; i.e., a subDMAP can call itself either
directly or indirectly.
• The last parameter in the argument list must not be followed by a slash (/).
Suspension -- HALT statement
The HALT statement defines a breakpoint in the DMAP sequence. DMAP execution
will stop when the breakpoint is reached.
Example
sol prtmat
compile prtmat list
subdmap prtmat $
$
type db, zuzr01 $
$
halt $
matprn zuzr01 // $
$
end $
diag 8
cent
begin bulk
end data
DMAP execution will be stopped when the HALT statement is reached. Now the
client program will place data block ZUZR01 into the database. Subsequently, DMAP
execution is resumed, and the MATPRN module will print data block ZUZR01.
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 37
Direct Matrix Abstraction
Termination -- EXIT and END statements
Both EXIT and END statements terminate the DMAP execution. However, the EXIT
statement can be specified at any time in a subDMAP, and the END statement can be
specified only once and must appear at the end of a subDMAP.
The following example demonstrates the use of both statements:
SUBDMAP AAA $
.
. (some DMAP instructions)
.
IF(ERROR)EXIT$
.
. (some DMAP instructions)
.
END $
If ERROR is true, the EXIT statement is used to terminate the subDMAP. The END
statement is required and must be the last statement in the subDMAP.
Declarative Statement
The declarative statements are TYPE, DBVIEW, and FILE. See “DMAP Modules and
Statements” in Chapter 4 for a description and ““Output from a Previous Module”
Rule” on page 38 and “Automatic Deletion of Scratch Data Blocks” on page 39 for
related discussion.

The data base function statements are DBEQUIV and DBDELETE. See “DMAP

1.6 “Output from a Previous Module” Rule
If a data block has already been specified as output by a previous module and is
specified as output from another module, User Fatal Message 1126 is issued during
execution. This principle is called the “output from a previous module” or “output
twice” rule. This rule is waived if any of the following is true:
• The data block is specified on a FILE statement with the APPEND or
OVRWRT keyword.
• The data block is TYPE’d (specified on a TYPE DB statement), and its current
qualifier values are different from the qualifier values given at the time of the
previous module execution.
• The data block is specified as output on a CALL statement and TYPE’d.
Main Index
CHAPTER 1 39
Direct Matrix Abstraction
1.7 Automatic Deletion of Scratch Data Blocks
Scratch NDDL and local data blocks are stored on the SCRATCH DBset (page 15). A
DBset is a physical file that is a subdivision of the database; see “Interface With Other
Programs” in Chapter 12 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Guide. To minimize the size of
the SCRATCH DBset, module scratch files are automatically deleted upon completion
of the module and DMAP scratch data blocks are automatically deleted after the
DMAP instruction in which they are used last. The location of this DMAP instruction
is called the last-time-used (LTU). An LTU is assigned to every data block. When the
LTU of an Scratch NDDL data block is reached, the data block is deleted if the current
qualifier values match. If the data block’s LTU is skipped, then the entire family is
deleted, regardless of the current qualifier values.
Special rules apply for data blocks specified in the following situations:
• For a scratch data block specified before a loop and last used inside the loop,
the LTU is extended to the bottom of the loop (e.g, ENDDO), meaning that
the data block is deleted when the loop is exited. If the data block is Scratch
NDDL, the entire family is deleted, regardless of the current qualifier values.
• For a local data block created inside a DMAP loop and last used after the
loop, the data block is deleted after the next execution of the top of the loop,
e.g., DO WHILE, even though the data block’s LTU is located after the loop
(i.e., when the loop is exited). Thus, the last generated data block can be used
after the loop exits.
• For a scratch data block created and last used inside a DMAP loop, the FILE
statement with the SAVE keyword extends the data block’s original LTU to
the bottom of the loop; otherwise, the data block is deleted at the original
LTU within the loop.
• For a Scratch NDDL data block used in a DBVIEW statement, the data block
is deleted at the LTU of the view name or the data block name, whichever is
last.
DlAG 57 prints the LTU information of all data blocks and a message indicating when
they are deleted.

1.8 Preface Modules and SOLution 100
The preface modules IFP1, XSORT, IFPi, DTIIN, and DMIIN generate data blocks
related to the Case Control, Bulk Data, and DMI or DTI entries. These modules are
specified at the beginning of all MD Nastran Solution Sequences.
SOLution 100 is also provided for the DMAP writer who wishes to execute his/her
DMAP sequences without having to specify the Preface modules IFP1, XSORT, and
IFPi. The DMAP writer needs to insert the following DMAP statements in the
Executive Control of the input data:
1. SOL 100
COMPILE USERDMAP
ALTER 2
2. If matrices or tables are to be input with DMI or DTI Bulk Data entries, the
DMIIN or DTIIN modules must be specified by the DMAP writer. For example,
the following DMAP statements generate matrices A, B, C, D, and E and tables
TA, TB, TC, TD, and TE:
DMIIN DMI,DMINDX/A,B,C,D,E,,,,,/ $
DTIIN DIT,DTINDX/TA,TB,TC,TD,TE,,,,,/ $
Data block names A, B, C, D, E, TA, TB, TC, TD, and TE can now be referenced in
subsequent DMAP statements.
3. The DMAP writer’s DMAP sequence can now be inserted.
4. TYPE statements that reference data blocks or parameters defined in the NDDL
of the structured solution sequences (SOLutions 101 through 200) can also be
inserted.

1.9 Processing of User Errors
Modules used in Phase I of the superelement SOLution sequences (SOLs 101 through
200) include an option to continue processing after fatal errors are discovered and
printed in the output file. The module completes processing as best it can and then sets
a special integer parameter named NOGO to -1. The output files may be purged or
incomplete. If no errors are discovered, NOGO is set to 0. The DMAP writer can
choose to branch to the end of a loop or take other actions when error conditions are
discovered. This option is selected by setting SYSTEM cell 82 to 1. Users who insert
alters into Phase l should be aware of this option.
An example of this option, based on the method used in SOLs 101 through 200, is:
PUTSYS(1,82) $ALLOWS DMAP TO FIELD NOGO FLAGS
.
.
.
GP2 GEOM2S,EQEXINS,,GEOM2A,EPTA/ECTS,ECTAS $
IF ( NOGO = -1 ) THEN $
CALL ERRPH1 //SUBDMAP/0/-1/DUMMY $ LOOPER
RETURN $ CONTINUE TO NEXT SE ALTHOUGH
ENDIF $ ERROR FOUND IN CURRENT SE
.
.
.
PUTSYS (0,82) $ DISALLOWS DMAP TO FIELD NOGO FLAGS
The GEOM2S file contains element connectivity data. If the GP2 module detects errors
in this data, it will set NOGO to -1.
Modules that presently have this option include:
DCMP MGEN
DECOMP MTRXIN
DYCNTRL SEDR
EMG SELA
GP2 SEMA
GP3 SSG1
GP4 TA1

1.10 SubDMAPs DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH
The DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH module capabilities prior to Version 66 have
been replaced by subDMAPs, as described below.
CALL DBMGR //OPT/P2/P3/P4/P5/P6/DB1/DB2/DB3/DB4/DB5 $
CALL DBSTORE DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5//Q1/Q2/DBSET/COND $
CALL DBFETCH /DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5/Q1/Q2/FLAG/0/S,SUCCESS $
The complete descriptions can be found in “DMAP Modules and Statements” in
Chapter 4 under subDMAPs DBFETCH, DBMGR, and DBSTORE.
Prior to Version 66, data blocks could be stored, fetched, and manipulated from the
database via the DMAP modules DBSTORE, DBFETCH and DBMGR. In Version 66,
these modules were removed in favor of a more robust and automatic capability. To
help users store data blocks that are not already defined in the NDDL, a set of
subDMAPs are available that emulate most of the capabilities in those modules. The
subDMAPs and their capabilities are:
CALL DBSTORE store data blocks on the database
CALL DBFETCH retrieve data blocks from the database
CALL DBMGR perform various functions related to data blocks stored
using CALL DBSTORE
DIAG 47 can be specified in the Executive Control Section to print diagnostics related
to these operations.
These subDMAPs are stored in the delivery database and do not have to be compiled
by the user if they are being used in any MD Nastran solution sequences. For example:
SOL 101
DIAG 47
COMPILE SEDRCVR
ALTER ’AFTER ELEMENT STRESS’
CALL DBSTORE OES1,,,,//0/SEID/’ ’/0 $
CEND
These subDMAPs are also used in a user’s solution sequence.

1.11 WHERE and CONVERT Clauses
The WHERE clause is used in the selection of items (data blocks and parameters) on
the DBDICT, DBDELETE, DBEQUIV, and DBVIEW DMAP statements. The
CONVERT clause modifies qualifier values of items selected by the WHERE clause on
the DBEQUIV DMAP statements.
The WHERE and CONVERT clauses specify values for PROJECT, VERSION,
qualifiers, and DBSET. PROJECT specifies the project-identification numberthat is
originally defined on the PROJECT FMS statement at the time the project is created.
VERSION specifies the desired version-identification numberunder the project-ID.
Qualifiers are used to uniquely identify items on the database with the same name.
For example, data block KAA has SEID as one of its qualifiers, which is the
superelement ID. An item may have more than one qualifier and the collection of all
qualifiers assigned to an item is called a path. All data blocks and parameters with
qualifiers are defined in the NDDL Sequence ( see “NASTRAN Data Definition
Language (NDDL)” on page 833). Data blocks and parameters are defined on the
DATABLK and PARAM NDDL statements. The DATABLK and PARAM statements
specify the name of the data block, parameter, and also its pathname. The pathnames
are defined on the PATH NDDL statement, which lists the qualifiers assigned to the
path. Qualifiers are defined on the QUAL NDDL statement. DBSET specifies the
desired DBset. The DBset of an item is specified after the LOCATION keyword on the
DATABLK and PARAM NDDL statement.
The format of the WHERE clause is:
WHERE (where-expr)
where-expr is a logical expression that specifies the desired values of qualifiers,
PROJECT, VERSION, and DBSET. If the result of the logical expression is TRUE for
an item on the database then the item is selected. For example, WHERE(VERSlON=4
AND SElD<>2 AND SElD>0) selects all items under version 4 for all values of SEID
greater than 0 except 2.
A simple where-expr is a comparison using the following relational operators
=,>‘<‘<, >, or utortu. For example, SElD>0 means if SEID is greater than zero, then
the logical expression is true. Several simple where-exprs may be joined into one
where-expr by the following logical operators: AND, OR, XOR, and EQV. The NOT
operator may be used to negate a where where-expr. For example, NOT(SEID>0) 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 Index
CHAPTER 1 45
Direct Matrix Abstraction
If 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 Index
46
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)

2.1 Introduction
Data 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 Index
49
2.2 Matrix Data Blocks
The 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 PJ
H -- Modal degrees-of-freedom; for example, PHDH, MHH, PHF and UHF
In 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.
Analysis Type Columns correspond to ascending
Linear Statics Subcase identification number
Nonlinear Statics Loop identification number
Normal or Complex Eigenvalues Mode number
Frequency Response Subcase identification numberand forcing
frequency value
Transient Response Time step value
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.
Main Index
50
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.

2.3 Table Data Blocks
This section discusses common attributes across several tables:
• IFP tables
• OFP tables
• Element types
See “Table Descriptions” on page 71.
IFP Tables
The 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 Bits
The 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 Index

17 -- 32 2 16 -- 1
33 -- 48 3 16 -- 1
49 -- 64 4 16 -- 1
65 -- 80 5 16 -- 1
81 -- 96 6 16 -- 1
97 -- 112 1 32 -- 17
113 -- 128 2 32 -- 17
129 -- 144 3 32 -- 17
145 -- 160 4 32 -- 17
161 -- 176 5 32 -- 17
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 + 1
BIT = 16*(1+TBIT/97) -- MOD(TBIT-1,16)
where TBIT = trailer bit from second word of header record
WORD = trailer word
BIT = trailer word bit position numbered from the right
and all variables are defined as integers.

EGPSF. The element type numbers are unique across all tables but do not necessarily
appear in all tables. Some element types are pseudo-elements for data recovery

2.4 Table Descriptions
Table descriptions are arranged alphabetically by the generic name of the data block.
A data block description may encompass descriptions of several data blocks from
different modules; for example, the OES data block description describes data blocks
OES1, OES2, OESNL, OSTR1, and OES1C, which are output by the SDR2, SDR3,
SDRNL, and SDRCOMP modules. The generic name of a data block also appears in
the “Data Block Glossary” on page 648 at the end of “DMAP Modules and
Statements” in Chapter 4.

Notes:
1. For partitioned superelements the locations are in the superelement’s basic
coordinate system. In other words, each partitioned superelement has its
own basic coordinate system.
2. Scaler points are identified by CID=-1 and XCOORD = YCOORD =
ZCOORD = 0.
3. If WORD2, number of boundary grids, is zero, then record BIDMAP does not
exist and XIDMAP will be used.

are being processed.
If strain/curvature and FIBRE = 4 then NF=1
If strain/curvature and FIBRE <> 4 then NF=2
If stress FIBRE=1, 2, or 4 then NF=1
If stress FIBRE=0, 3, 5, 6, or, 7 then NF=3
2. SUBVEC and TSEIG may have the following values:
Linear statics subcase identification number 0.0

1. The RECORD=IDENT and DATA pair is repeated for each subcase.
2. For CDAMPi and CVISC elements, force output is only available in
frequency response.
3. For composite elements, ELTYPEs 95 through 98, OEF contains composite
failure indices and the DATA record is repeated for each ply as well as each
element. Also, EID=-1, then OFP module prints a blank line.

3. The BITINFO in ENTRY=DWNCNCT indicates the downstream
superelement(s?).
Bit Number Downstream superelement is:
0 the residual structure
1 through NBRSE-1 the superelement(s) corresponding to the
INTIDX-th bit(s)
4. In ENTRY=GRIDMAP, bits are numbered left to right beginning with zero
and span LENTRY-1 words.
Bit number Meaning
0 grid is connected to the residual structure
1 through NBRSE-1 grid is connected to the superelement(s)
corresponding to the INTIDX-th bit(s)
NBRSE grid is a scalar point
NBRSE+1 grid is an incongruent boundary point
MAXBIT-IDBITS through MAXBIT internal superelement index (INTIDX) to
which grid is interior
5. where MAXBIT = NBPW*(LENTRY-1)-1, NBPW is the number of bits per
word, and "incongruent" indicates inconsistent coordinate systems on the
boundary point.
6. In RECORD=INFO The primary superelement exterior grids points are
sorted in the order of the secondary exterior grid points. Only if SEQSEP is
specified.
7. SELABEL is created by SEP1X only.
8. LENTRY is computed from IDBITS:
a. IDBITS is the minimum number of bits required to represent NBRSE.
ln ( max ( NBRSE,1 ) )
IDBITS = int --------------------------------------------------- + 1.01
ln 2
where ln is the natural logarithm and int is the integer function.
Main Index
640 SEMAP
Superelement Definition Table (Map)
b. LENTRY is number of words in the grid point map.
LENTRY = int --------------------------------------------------------- + 2
NBRSE + IDBITS + 1
NBPW
c. For example, if NBRSE=50 and NBPW=32, then IDBITS=6 and
LENTRY=3.
9. The structure of RECORD=MAP is the same for SEP1 and SEP1X, but the
content is different. For SEP1X, GRIDID in RECORD=MAP identifies only
boundary grid points and GRIDBIT delineates to which superelement the
point connects. For SEP1 the bits are not really clear in meaning. However
some rules tend to indicate when the exterior grid becomes interior.
10. RECORD=INFO is the same between both systems, although modules
SEP1X and SEP2X do not use ENTRY=ELIDS.
11. ENTRY=PGRID only exists for secondary superelements with resequencing,
i.e., bit 1 is on in TYPE, and list the relative primary grid points in same order
as ENTRY=EXTGRD.

■ NDDL Summary
■ Detailed Description of NDDL Statements
Main Index
834
3.1 NDDL Summary
The NDDL (MD Nastran Data Definition Language) has several purposes:
1. The NDDL describes the hierarchical data structure of the MD Nastran
database.
2. The NDDL provides the mechanism, in conjunction with the TYPE DMAP
statement, for determining which MD Nastran generated data blocks or
parameters or both will be stored on the database.
3. The NDDL provides the schema necessary for representing the data block
data structure.
4. The NDDL and its associated query language provides the means for
selecting from the hierarchical database structure specific data blocks in the
form of flat tables, thus admitting them to relational database manipulation.
5. The NDDL provides the necessary data dependencies for automatic
modified restarts.
Descriptions of NDDL Statements
DATABLK Define a data block’s name, path, and location and describe its
contents.
DEPEN Define a data block, parameter, or virtual parameter to be dependent
upon other data block(s), parameter(s) or virtual parameter(s).
PARAM Define a parameter’s name, type, path, location, and default value.
PATH List the QUALifiers to be used in accessing the data block or
parameter via the NDDL.
QUAL Define a qualifier’s name, type and default value
Main Index
835
3.2 Detailed Description of NDDL Statements
Syntactical Descriptions
In the descriptions of the NDDL statements, the following notations are used:
1. Slashes, colons, and parentheses must be specified as shown.
2. Uppercase letters are keywords and must be specified as shown.
3. Lowercase letters represent variables, the permissible values of which are
indicated in the descriptive text.
4. Shaded words indicate the default.
5. One or more items in square brackets [] are optional. If the describers are stacked
vertically, then only one may be specified.
6. One or more items in braces {} must be specified. If the describers are stacked
vertically, then only one may be specified.

DATABLK Describes data blocks used for NDDL access
A data block is a collection of matrix columns or table records and may be broken
down into the following entities:
1. Record (or column) is a group of items and/or entries.
2. Entry is a group of items and/or entries within a record.
3. Item is a single scalar quantity; such as an integer, real number, complex number,
character string, or logical.
Format:
DATABLK,db_name,PATH=pathname,LOCATION=loc_param,
MATRIX
UNSTRUCTURED
SAMEAS,sname
TYPE = TABLE [ ( style ) ] EOF
db_description
KDICT
KELM
where:
style = the db_description has special rules. Only TABLE(OFP) and
TABLE(CASE) are allowed.
SAMEAS = the db_description on another DATABLK, sname statement.
db_description = one or more record descriptions providing a word-by-word
description of each record in which each word (or item) is
assigned a name and type.
(*) rec_description
RECORD , , EOR
= rec_name [ ( h1 [ ,h2 [ ,h3 ] ] ) ] SAMEAS, srec_name
where:
RECORD(*) = rec_description defines all records. It can only be specified once
following RECORD=HEADER.
RECORD = rec_name[(h1[,h2[,h3]]] assigns a name to the record and may
optionally indicate that the record begins with one to three integers
called header words. This format may be specified more than once.
Only a few data blocks have this type of record; such as IFP module
output data blocks.
Main Index
DATABLK 837
Describes data blocks used for NDDL access
rec_description contains one or more of the following record components that may be
repeated and in any order:
• item_component defines a single item.
• entry_component defines a description of one or more record components
and may be repeated in the record.
• either_component defines a description of one or more record components
and is conditional upon the value of another item anywhere in the record.
item_component has one of the following forms:
rep_count
item_name , item_type,
C
UNDEF, rep_count,
where:
rep_count = the number of times the item is repeated. The default is zero.
C = item_name is referenced by BACK in an either_component or COUNT
in an entry_component
• item_type is:
Item Type Description
I Integer
RS Real-single precision
RD Real-double precision
RX Real machine precision
CS Complex-single precision
CD Complex-double precision
CX Complex machine precision
CHARi Character (i = length)
LOGICAL Logical

• UNDEF indicates a dummy item that is one machine-word in length.
entry_component has the following form:
ENTRY[=entry-name],
rec_component,
n
COUNT =
item_name
ENDENTRY,
EOR
WITH,
( end_value1,end_value2,… )
where:
rec_component = partial record description or item_component.
COUNT = the number of times the entry occurs in the record. item_name
specifies the name of an item in the record whose value will
specify the number of occurrences and n specifies a constant
integer value for the number of occurrences.
SAMEAS = an entry description specified on another ENTRY=sentry_name.
end_valuei = numeric value(s) that identifies the end of repeating ENTRY...
ENDENTRY grouping.
If EOR = specified then no more rec_components follow in the record and
RECORD or EOF must follow.
ENDENTRY = required and terminates the entry_components.

ENDEITH,
where:
AHEAD or BACK = an item defined elsewhere in the record.
OR = the beginning of an optional description of the
item=item_valn.

for datablock-names: A through Z and 0 through 9.
pathname Name of the path, which is also referenced on a PATH statement.
loc_param Variable character parameter name with a value that is the DBset
name. See the PARAM NDDL statement and the INlT FMS
statement.
rec_name Record name. Optional.

Remarks:
1. In general, the data block completely describes all possible records of a data block.
At any given instance, some or even all of the records that comprise the
description may not physically exist in any given data block.
Main Index
DATABLK 841
Describes data blocks used for NDDL access
2. For UNDEF items, DEPENdencies are not checked and for transfer of data
between machine types they are considered integer zero.
Examples:
1. The simplest DATABLK statement might be of the form:
DATABLK,INDATA,PATH=DMS,LOCATION=DBDN,EOF
A more complex specification of a DATABLK statement is of the form:
DATABLK,GEOM4S,TYPE=TABLE,PATH=PEIDI,LOCATION=IFPX,SAMEAS,
GEOM4,EOF
In the above statement, SAMEAS,GEOM4 specifies that GEOM4S has the same
data block description specified under the DATABLK,GEOM4 statement.
2. Consider the following:
DATABLK ,EQEXIN,TYPE=TABLE,PATH=PEIDI,LOCATION=IFPX,
RECORD=HEADER,NAME(2),CHAR4,EOR,
RECORD=EXT2INT,
GRIDID,I,INTERNAL,I,
EOR,
RECORD=EXT2SIL,
GRIDID,I,TENXSIL,I,EOR,EOF
The NAME(2) above represents a two word item with each word four characters
in length. The RECORD=EXT2INT gives this particular record the record-name
EXT2INT. In the record named EXT2INT there are two integer items called
GRIDID and INTERNAL. These two groups are repeated until the EOR is
encountered.
A simple ENTRY ... ENDENTRY grouping is:
RECORD=MAT9(2603,26,300),
MID,I,
ENTRY=GEES,
G(21),RS,
ENDENTRY,
RHO,RS,...,
EOR,
In the above example it was found convenient to group the Gs into an ENTRY-
ENDENTRY group called GEES. The group contains 21 entries. The group items
can be accessed as a whole group or as individual members. Also note the
(2603,26,300) entry. Internally, for many records, MD Nastran sees not the record
name e.g., MAT9, but rather the describer e.g.,(2603,26,300).
Another example of an ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group is as follows:
RECORD=CYJOIN(5210,52,257),
SIDE,I,C,I,
ENTRY,
G1,I,
Main Index
842 DATABLK
Describes data blocks used for NDDL access
ENDENTRY,WITH,-1,
EOR,
In this example the ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group in the CYJOIN record consists
of an indefinite number of G1 data-items. When the value -1 (which is physically
part of the record) is encountered, repetition of the ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group
will stop. Another similar example is of the form:
RECORD=MPC(4901,49,17),
SID,I,...,
ENTRY,
G1,I,C1,I,A1,RS,
ENDENTRY,WITH,(-1,-1,-1),EOR,
In the above MPC record, the group G1, C1, A1, repeats until -1 -1 -1 is
encountered in the record. A complex example of ENTRY ... ENDENTRY groups
is shown next.
RECORD=RBE3(7101,71,187),
EID,I,REFGRID,I,REFC,I,
ENTRY,
WT1,RS,C1,I,
ENTRY,
G1,I,
ENDENTRY,WITH,-1,
ENDENTRY,WITH,-2,
ENTRY,
GM1,I,CM1,I,
ENDENTRY,WITH,-3,
EOR,
In this example, an ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group is shown nested within another
ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group. If an ENTRY .. ENDENTRY group appears in
another ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group, it must be entirely contained in the
particular group. The outer ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group of this example uses
the ElTHER,OR clause to select the ENDENTRY statement. In this particular
example, the inner ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group is terminated by -1. The outer
ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group is terminated when a -2 is encountered. If a -2 is
encountered, another ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group terminating with -3 is
executed. If -3 is encountered the outer loop terminates. The record is
continuously repeated in this fashion until the EOR is encountered.
The next example uses EITHER,OR clauses to select one of several possible table
formats including an ENTRY ... ENDENTRY grouping.
RECORD=RELEASE(1310,13,247),
SEID,I,C,I,
EITHER,0,
ENTRY,
G1,I,
ENDENTRY,WITH,-1,
Main Index
DATABLK 843
Describes data blocks used for NDDL access
OR,1,
G1,I,G2,I,
OR,-1
ENDEITH,
EOR,
The RELEASE record represents three possible forms of the Bulk Data entry
RELEASE. The ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group represents an open-ended list of
grid point identifiers terminated by -1. The first OR represents a “THRU” option
while the second OR represents a “ALL” option.
Another use of the SAMEAS clause is as follows:
,...,
ENTRY=SOLDSP,SAMEAS,NONLIN,ENDENTRY,
This statement says that SOLDSP entry has an identical group structure to an
ENTRY=NONLIN grouping, which is in the same data block and comes
physically before the SOLDSP entry.
The COUNT = n is shown in the next example:
,...,
RECORD=PBEAM,(5402,54,262)
PID,I,MID,I,N,I,CCF,I,X,I,
ENTRY=SECTIONS,
S0,I,XXB,RS,A,RS,I1,RS,I2,RS,I12,RS,J,RS,NSM,RS,
C1 ,RS,C2,RS,D1,RS,D2,RS,E1,RS,E2,RS,F1,RS,F2,RS,
ENDENTRY,COUNT=11,
K1,RS, ... , N2B,RS,
EOR, ...
The STATIONS entry is to be repeated 10 times in addition to the entry explicitly
described. Thus there are 11 such entries.
The next example shows the use of COUNT = item-id and WITH,EOR
,...,
UNUSED(67),I,
LSEM(C),I,
ENTRY,
COEF,RS,
ENDENTRY,COUNT=LSEM,
ENTRY=SETS,
SETID,I,
LSET(C),I,
ENTRY,
SET,I,
ENDENTRY,COUNT=LSET,
ENDENTRY,WITH,EOR,EOF
The number of data items in COEFF is LSEM.
Main Index
844 DATABLK
Describes data blocks used for NDDL access
The entry SETS represents an ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group, which ends when an
EOR is reached. SET contains LSET data items for each repetition through the
ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group.
The next example shows a use of UNDEF, length.
RECORD=CCONE(2315,23,0),
EID,I,PID,I,
UNDEF,18,
EOR,
Here UNDEF,18 says that the next 18 items in the table are undefined. Neither,
the item-name or data-type are defined.
The next example shows the use of AHEAD(item-name).
RECORD=CBAR(2408,24,180),
EID,I,PID,I,GA,I,GB,I,
EITHER,AHEAD(F)=1,
X1 ,RS,X2,RS,X3,RS,F,I
OR,2,
GO,I,UNDEF,2,F,I,
ENDEITH, ...
In this example, AHEAD(F) says read F, which is required to be integer, to
determine the appropriate description.N
Main Index
DEPEN 845
Specifies the dependence of a data block or parameter
DEPEN Specifies the dependence of a data block or parameter
Specifies the dependence of a data block or parameter on another data block,
parameter, or virtual parameter.
Format:
dep_db_name ( DB ) indep_db_namei ( DB )
DEPEN
dep_param_name ( P ) ⁄ indep_param_namei ( DB ) [ : desc_loc ] [ ,… ]
dep_virtual_name ( VP ) indep_virtual_namei ( VP )
Meaning: dep_* is dependent upon indep_*. In other words, if any or all of
indep_* changes, or is also marked for deletion. The RESTART module
detects changes and marks dep_* for deletion.
Variables:
dep_* Dependent data block, parameter, or virtual parameter as indicated by
DB, P, or VP, respectively.
indep_* Independent data block, parameter, or virtual parameter as indicated by
DB, P, or VP, respectively.
desc_loc Description locator of the independent record, entry, or item and the
format is
[ record_name ] [ : [ entry_name ] ] [ : [ item_name ] ]
Remarks:
1. des_loc is specified in order to isolate the independent data. In other words, the
dependency is limited to a specific record, entry, and/or item. For example,
DEPEN A/B $ delete A if any item in B changes
DEPEN A/B:C $ delete A only if record C changes
DEPEN A/B:C:D $ delete A only if entry D of record C
changes
DEPEN A/B:C:D:E $ delete A only if item E in entry D
of record C changes
2. If record_name, entry_name or item_name is not defined in the DATABLK
description, then leave these fields blank but specify the colon.

Input Data Blocks:
A Any matrix (real or complex).
B Any matrix (real or complex).
Output Data Block:
X Matrix
Parameters:
ALPHA Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is α , the scalar
multiplier for [ A ] .
BETA Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is β , the scalar
multiplier for [ B ] .
IOPT Input-integer-default = 0. This chooses the operator ⊕ in x ij = αA ij ⊕ βB ij .

= βB ij if B ij ≠ 0
Remarks:
1. [ A ] and/or [ B ] may be purged, in which case the corresponding term in the
matrix sum will be assumed null. The input data blocks must be unique.
X may not be purged.
Main Index
872 ADD
Matrix add
2. The type (complex or real and single or double precision) of [ X ] is the
maximum of the types of [ A ] , [ B ] , α , and β . The size of [ X ] is the size of [ A ]
if [ A ] is present. Otherwise, it is the size of [ B ] .
3. If A and B are not the same size, then the size of X will be the size of A. For
example,
1 2 5 + = 8 10 5
7 8
3 4 6 3 4 6
or
1 2 5
7 8 + = 8 10
3 4 6
4. If ALPHA or BETA are specified as constants and their imaginary part is
zero; e.g., “(5.,0.)”, then they may alternately be specified as real constants;
e.g., “5.” See examples.
5. For exponentiation of each element in a matrix, see “DIAGONAL” on
page 1006 module.
Examples:
1. Add KDD to MDD:
ADD KDD,MDD/DDD $

Parameters:
ALPHA Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is α , the scalar
multiplier for [ A ] .
BETA Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is β , the scalar
multiplier for [ B ] .

Matrix add
DELTAD Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the
scalar multiplier for [ C ] .
EPSLND Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the
scalar multiplier for [ E ] .
Remarks:
1. Any of the matrices may be purged, in which case the corresponding term in
the matrix sum will be assumed null. The input data blocks must be unique.
2. The type (complex or real) of [ X ] is maximum of the types of A, B, C, D, and
E. If the imaginary parts of any parameter are nonzero, then X will be
complex. The precision of [ X ] is double for short-word machines and single
for long-word machines ADD5 is more efficient than ADD for sparse
matrices.
3. If the input matrices are incompatible, then the User Fatal Message 5423
“ATTEMPT TO ADD INCOMPATIBLE MATRICES” is issued.
4. If any of the scalar multipliers are specified as constants and their imaginary
part is zero; e.g., “(5.,0.)”, then they may be alternately specified as real
constants; e.g., “5.” See Example 2 below.
5. If any of the scalar single precision multipliers are specified as constants and
their imaginary part is zero; e.g., (5.,0.), then they may be alternately
specified as real constants; e.g., 5. See Example 2. This alternate specification
is not allowed for the double precision multipliers and constant double
precision values must be entered in full: e.g., (2.0D0, 0.0D0).
6. If ALPHAD, BETAD, GAMMAD, DELTAD, or EPSLND is non-zero then the
corresponding single precision parameter will be ignored.

Remarks:
AELOOP performs slightly different functions depending on whether it is used in a
divergence or trim analysis. In both cases, AELOOP skips to the NSKIP-th subcase in
CASECC and copies the subcase to CASEA. CASEA is then interrogated for a a TRIM
or a DIVERG Case Control command.
1. If it is TRIM, then the NSKIP parameter is incremented by one and the
MACH and Q values are read from the requested TRIM Bulk Data entry
image in EDT.
2. If it is DIVERG, then MFLG is checked for any remaining MACH numbers
in the subcase. If any are found, then MFLG is incremented by one and the
MFLG-th MACH number is read from the requested DIVERG Bulk Data
entry image in EDT. If the current MACH number is the last MACH number,
MFLG is set to 0 and NSKIP is incremented by one.
In both cases, if NSKIP is greater than the total number of records in
CASECC, then LPFLG is set to -1.

record.
CHAR2 Input-character-default='XXXXXXXX'. Character value in the same
record as CHAR1 and following CHAR1.
Remarks:
1. Under IOPT = 2, the output matrix data block is also used as an input and
must be declared APPEND in a FILE DMAP statement.
2. Both inputs must be of the same type matrix.
3. Either IN1 or IN2 may be purged. For IOPT = 2, IN2 must be purged.
4. In matrix appends, string formatted records are copied from one matrix data
block to another.
5. In table appends, the header record is skipped on the appended file and all
remaining records. Also, the trailer of OUT will be set to that of IN2 (IOPT =
1) or IN1 (IOPT = 2).
6. It is recommended that the OUT data block be a scratch data block. In other
words, it should not be saved on a permanent DBset.
7. For values of IOPT -16, -17, -18, -19, or -2
the order of the parameters written is reversed. For example, IOPT=-20
causes CHAR to be written first, then NULL2.

where the number of rows in the UX vector is equal to the number of
aerodynamic extra points. The ZZX and PZ vectors have as many rows as
there are r-set degrees of freedom. The IP matrix is a pseudo identity matrix
with as many rows as there are constrained extra points specified on the
TRIM Bulk Data entry. The IP matrix has ones in the row and columns
corresponding to the constrained variable and zeros located elsewhere. The
Y vector contains the magnitudes of the trim variable constraints. The AEL
matrix contains the constraint relations (if any) specified by AELINK Bulk
Data entries. It has as many rows as there are AELINK constraints. It is
required that the sum of the number of supported degrees of freedom plus
the number of TRIM constraints and number of AELINK constraints equal

Complex, unsymmetric eigenvalue analysis or singular value decomposition
Output Data Blocks:
CPHX Complex eigenvector matrix. Usually CPHH or CPHD. If
METH=’SVD’ then CPHX is V. See Remark 9.
CLAMA Complex eigenvalue summary table.
OCEIG Complex eigenvalue extraction report.
LCPHX Left-handed complex eigenvector matrix (Lanczos only). Usually
LCPHH or LCPHD. If METH=’SVD’ then CPHX is U. See Remark 9.
CLAMMAT Diagonal matrix with complex eigenvalues on the diagonal. See
Remark 8. If METH=’SVD’ then CPHX is S. See Remark 9.
Parameters:
NEIGV Output-integer-no default. NEIGV indicates the number of eigenvalues
found. If none were found, NEIGV is set to -1.
UNUSED2 Input-integer-default=1. Unused.
SID Input-integer-default=0. Alternate set identification number.
If SID=0, the set identification number is obtained from the CMETHOD
command in CASECC and used to select the EIGC entry in DYNAMIC.
If SID>0, then the CMETHOD command is ignored and the EIGC entry
is selected by this parameter value. Applicable for all methods.
If SID<0, then both the CMETHOD command and all EIGC entries are
ignored and the subsequent parameter values (E, ND1, etc.) will be
used to control the eigenvalue extraction. Applicable for single vector
Lanczos, block Lanczos, QZ Hessenberg, QR Hessenberg, and SVD
(Singular Value Decomposition).
METH Input-character-default='CLAN'. If SID<0, then METH specifies the
method of eigenvalue extraction.
CLAN Complex Lanczos (block or single vector).
HESS QZ Hessenberg or QR Hessenberg.
SVD Singular Value Decomposition. See Remark 9.
EPS Input-real-default=1.E-5. Used only when SID<0.
ND1 Input-integer-default=0. The number of desired eigenvectors. Used
only when SID<0. If METH=’SVD’, then
>0 Full SVD is computed.

Method:
Complex eigenvalues and the associated eigenvectors are calculated in CEAD
(Complex Eigenvalue Analysis -- Displacement) using the inverse power method, the
determinant method, the Hessenberg method, or the Lanczos method, as requested by
the user on the EIGC Bulk Data entry. For direct complex eigenvalue analysis and if
PARAM,ASING = 0 (default) then null rows and columns are discarded from [ K dd ] ,
[ M dd ] , and [ B dd ] to form [ K xx
d ] , [ M d ] , and [ B d ] .
xx xx
In the case of a direct formulation CEAD extracts the eigenvalues from the following
equation.
[ M xx
d p2 + B d p + K d ]{ u d } = 0
xx xx x Eq. 4-5
{ u xd } is then augmented with null rows to form { u d } .
In the case of a modal formulation the following equation is used:
[ M hh p 2 + B hh p + K hh ] { u h } = 0 Eq. 4-6
CEAD also normalizes the eigenvectors according to one of the following user
requests:
• Unit magnitude of a selected coordinate (“POINT”).
• Unit magnitude of the largest component (“MAX”).
as specified on the EIGC Bulk Data entry.
Main Index
924 CEAD
Complex, unsymmetric eigenvalue analysis or singular value decomposition
Remarks:
1. Eigenvalues are extracted by the Inverse Power, Determinant, Hessenberg,
or Lanczos method.
2. At least one of KXX, BXX, and MXX must be present.
3. No output data block can be purged except for LCPHX and CLAMMAT.
LCPHX can be purged for methods other than Lanczos. CLAMMAT may be
purged for all.
4. CLAMA and OCEIG are suitable for printing by the OFP module.
5. For the Hessenberg method, spill logic may be requested with
SYSTEM(108)=1 on the NASTRAN statement. This allows for no limits on
problem size.
6. For the Hessenberg method, the mass matrix must be nonsingular.
7. The UEIGL module is recommended for real unsymmetric eigensolutions.
8. CLAMMAT contains the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues, with dimensions
compatible with CPHX and/or LCPHX so that
2
[ KDD ] [ CPHX ] + [ BDD ] [ CPHX ] [ CLAMMAT ] + [ MDD ] [ CPHX ] [ CLAMMAT ] = 0
and
T T 2 T
[ LCPHX ] [ KDD ] + [ CLAMMAT ] [ LCPHX ] [ BDD ] + [ CLAMMAT ] [ LCPHX ] [ KDD ] = 0
For development purposes, when block Lanczos is selected and system cell
108 is set to 2048, the fifth output slot will contain the cross orthogonality
matrix
T
[Y] [X]
which should be identity. See the MSC.Nastran Numerical Methods User’s
Guide for the definition of Y and X.
9. CEAD may be used to perform singular value decomposition.
T
V is the transpose of the complex conjugate of V . The terms of S are always
positive or zero (non-negative), and real. The terms of S are sorted in
descending order (largest first). The single matrix eigenproblem can be
regarded as a special case of the SVD problem. For the case of K real,
symmetric, and positive semi-definite U = V , and S is the matrix of roots of
[ K – λ*I ]*φ = 0

CEAD 925
Complex, unsymmetric eigenvalue analysis or singular value decomposition
The roots and vectors are sequenced inversely from the MD Nastran
convention. Singular Value Decomposition is a standard mathematical
technique with well-defined properties. Both U and V may be purged and
CEAD will execute faster if they are are purged. The input matrix K must fit
into memory because there is no spill capability. The singular value
decomposition uses the format shown in the Example 2. Although S is real
by definition, it is returned as a complex matrix with 0.0 imaginary parts.
The other outputs are also complex in form, although they are sometimes
real in content.
Example:
1. The following DMAP sequence extracts eigenvalues and eigenvectors and
prints the results.

generated images are then merged with the existing PSHELL and MAT2
entries and written to the output datablocks EPTC and MPTC,, respectively.
If any duplicates are found in EPT and MPT, then they are simply
overwritten. Furthermore, any entries which may have been internally
generated (i.e., with PID or MID>100000000) are also stripped off.

2. DBCPATH is a parameter defined on a statement in the NASTRAN NDDL;
i.e.,
PARAM,DBCPATH = 0,PATH = DBCQUAL
PATH DBCQUAL QUAL1,QUAL2,QUAL3,etc.
where QUALi selects the QUALifier values associated with the PATH of the
input data blocks from NASTRAN to be written along with the input data
blocks on the DBC database. In other words, the intersection of the PATH
DBCQUAL and the PATH of the input data blocks will form the set of
QUALifiers to be written to the DBC database and associated with the input
data blocks. Also, the PROJECT and VERSION will be written. It is
recommended that the input data blocks all have the same PATH.
If it is not NDDL, then only the PROJECT and VERSION will be associated
with the input data blocks on the DBC database.
3. Generic data blocks: ECT, GEOM1, and EQEXIN, must exist on POSTU
(when PROGRAM =’XL’) or GEOMU (when PROGRAM =’GRASP’) prior to
the conversion of the following data blocks: OUG, OES, OEF, OPG, OQG,
and GPS.
4. If PROGRAM =’XL’ then, the converted format of the above data blocks is
written to one of three databases (FORTRAN units): GEOMU, LOADU, and
POSTU.
GEOMU BGPDT, CSTM, ECT, EMAP, EPT, GPDT, MPT, and SETS
LOADU GEOM3 and GEOM4
POSTU CASECC, GPS, EQEXIN, GEOM1, GPL, LAMA, OEF, OES,
OESNL, OGPF, OESE, OPG, OQG, OUG, OESC, DBCOPT,
GPDCT, and ELDCT
5. If PROGRAM =’GRASP’ then, the converted format of the above data blocks
is written only to the database: GEOMU.
6. Generic data blocks ECT, BGPDT, GPL, and GPDT should be specified
simultaneously on the same DBC statement.
7. Generic names OES and OESC must be specified in separate DBC modules
and may appear only once per DBC module.
Examples:
The following examples illustrate how the module might be implemented in a
superelement solution sequence. The following TYPE statements are used to establish
authorization and defaults for user parameters that control the module.

DBDELETE 955
Deletes NDDL data blocks and parameters
DBDELETE Deletes NDDL data blocks and parameters
Deletes NDDL data blocks and parameters. An optional WHERE clause may be
specified for a more selective deletion.
Format:
*
DATABLK =
( datablk – list )
DBDELETE [ WHERE ( where – expr ) ] $
*
PARAM =
( param – list )
Describers:
DATABLK Delete data blocks. datablk-list specifies a list of NDDL-defined data
blocks separated by commas.
PARAM Delete parameters. param-list specifies a list of parameters separated
by commas.
where-expr Logical expression that specifies the desired values of colnames
described in Table 2 under the “DBDICT” on page 957 statement. If
where-expr is true then the named items will be deleted. For example,
WHERE(VERSION=4 AND SEID<>2 AND SEID>0) selects all items
under version 4 for all values of SEID greater than 0 except 2. See
“WHERE and CONVERT Clauses” on page 44 for a further
description. The default for VERSION and PROJECT is the current
version and project. See also Remark 1.
Remarks:
1. The where-expr has the following rules:
If the where-expr specifies a colname that is not assigned to the data block or
parameter then none of that data block or parameter will be deleted. For
example, given that SPC is not a qualifier for KGG, then the following
DBDELETE statement will not delete any KGG:
DBDELETE DATABLK=KGG WHERE(SPC=10)$
If the where-expr does not specify a colname that is assigned to the data
block (or parameter), then the current value of the qualifier is assumed. For
example, given that SEID is a qualifier for KAA, then the following DBDICT
statements are equivalent:
SPC=10 $
DBDELETE DATABLK=KAA $
Main Index
956 DBDELETE
Deletes NDDL data blocks and parameters
or
DBDELETE DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10) $
The WILDCARD keyword may be added in order to wildcard all qualifiers
not already specified in where-expr. For example to delete all KAA where
SPC=10 and regardless of MPC, SEID, etc.:
DBDELETE DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10 AND WILDCARD) $
Note: WILDCARD applies only to qualifiers and not colnames like
PROJECT, PROJECT, VERSION, CDATE, etc.
2. The data block and parameter names in datablk-list and param-list cannot be
alias names specified on the subDMAP argument list. datablk-list and
param-list must specify the name of the data block or parameter as defined
in the NDDL.

DBDICT 957
Prints database directory tables
DBDICT Prints database directory tables
Prints the following database directory tables:
• Data blocks described by an NDDL DATABLK statement.
• Parameters described by an NDDL PARAM statement.
• All unique paths (KEYs) and their qualifiers values.
• Qualifiers and their current values.
• Data blocks not described by an NDDL DATABLK statement.
• Parameters not described by an NDDL PARAM statement.
• Project and version information.
Basic Format:
The basic format of DBDICT specifies which tables to print and prints all items (data
blocks and parameters) found in the directory. Also, the attributes (colnames) to be
printed and the print format are predefined. Note that more than one table may be
specified on the same DBDICT statement.
DBDICT [DATABLK PARAM PROJVERS QUALCURR QUALIFIERS]
Examples:
DBDICT
DBDICT PARAM PROJVERS
Full Format:
The full format permits the selection of items by name and/or by the WHERE
describer. The full format also permits the attributes to be printed using the SELECT
describer. In addition, the print format can be specified with the SORT, FORMAT, and
LABEL describers. Note that the full format only allows the specification of a single
table on a DBDICT statement.

8. If a parameter or qualifier value is defined to be a character string, then the
value will be printed with enclosing single quotation marks. Blank strings
will also be printed with single quotation marks.
9. If a given qualifier is not in the path of a given data block or parameter, then
blank spaces will be printed.
10. A line will wrap if additional columns need to be printed and not enough
space is available on the output (which is assumed to be 132). The first
column of each additional line is to be indented by the width of the first
column printed for the entry.
11. The where-expr has the following rules:
a. If the where-expr specifies a colname that is not assigned to the data block
or parameter then no directory information will be printed for that data
block or parameter. For example, given that SPC is not a qualifier for
KGG, then the following DBDICT statement will produce no output:
DBDICT DATABLK=KGG WHERE(SPC=10) $
Main Index
972 DBDICT
Prints database directory tables
b. If the where-expr does not specify a colname that is assigned to the data
block (or parameter) then the qualifier is wildcarded. For example, given
that SEID is a qualifier for KAA, then the following DBDICT statements
are equivalent:
DBDICT DATABLK=KAA $
DBDICT DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SEID = *) $
Examples:
1. Print the Project Version Table with a title.
DBDICT PROJVERS SORT(PROJNO,VERSION),

DBEQUIV 973
Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters
DBEQUIV Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters
Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters based upon a qualifiers in
a CONVERT clause. An optional WHERE and may be specified for a more selective
equivalence.
Format:
*
DATABLK =
(datablk-list)
DBEQUIV [ WHERE (where-expr) ] ,
*
PARAM =
(param-list)
CONVERT (convert-expr) [ OVRWRT RESTART ] $
Describers:
datablk-list Specifies a list of data blocks separated by commas. The default is *,
which selects all data blocks. The equivalenced data block may be
renamed by specifying a slash after the old name followed by the
new name. For example, if KLL is to be renamed to KLL1, then
DATABLK=(KLL/KLL1) is specified.
param-list Specifies a list of parameters separated by commas. The default is *,
which selected all parameters. The equivalenced parameter may be
renamed by specifying a slash after the old name followed by the
new name. For example, if LUSETS is to be renamed to LUSET,
then PARAM=(LUSETS/LUSET) is specified.
where-expr Logical expression that specifies the desired values of colnames
described in Table 4-2 under the DBDICT statement. If where-expr
is true then the named items will be equivalenced. For example,
WHERE(VERSION=4 AND SEID<>2 AND SEID>0) selects all
items under version 4 for all values of SEID greater than 0 except 2.
See “WHERE and CONVERT Clauses” on page 44 for a further
description. The default for VERSION and PROJECT is the current
version and project. See Remark 1 for more information.
Main Index
974 DBEQUIV
Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters
convert-expr Modifies the values for PROJECT, VERSION, DBSET, and
qualifiers selected by the where-expr. The format of convert-expr
is:
PROJECT=project-expr;VERSION=version-expr;
DBSET=DBsetname;quali=qual-expri[;...]
For example, CONVERT (SEID=100+SEID; SPC=102).
See “WHERE and CONVERT Clauses” on page 44 for a further
discussion on WHERE and CONVERT clauses. The default action
for VERSION and PROJECT is to convert to the current version-
identification number and current project-identification number.
But if either PROJECT or VERSION is specified in the convert-expr,
then both must be specified.
OVRWRT By default (i.e., NOOVRWRT), duplicate data blocks or parameters
NOOVRWRT on the created by DBEQUIV will cause a fatal message. A duplicate
means that a data block or parameter has not only the same name
but also the same qualifier values, PROJECT, VERSION, and
DBSET as the primary data block or parameter. If OVRWRT is
specified, then the primary data block is overwritten.
RESTART By default, data blocks and parameters created by DBEQUIV
cannot be output again in a subsequent DMAP module. If
RESTART is specified then the selected data blocks and parameters
may be overwritten once.
Remarks:
1. The where-expr has the following rules:
If the where-expr specifies a colname that is not assigned to the data block or
parameter then none of that data block or parameter will be equivalenced.
For example, given that SPC is not a qualifier for KGG, then the following
DBEQUIV statement will not equivalence any KGG:
DBEQUIV DATABLK=KGG WHERE(SPC=10) CONVERT(SPC=20) $
If the where-expr does not specify a colname that is assigned to the data
block (or parameter), then the current value of the qualifier is assumed. For
example, given that SEID is a qualifier for KAA, then the following
DBEQUIV statements are equivalent:
SPC=10 $
DBEQUIV DATABLK=KAA CONVERT(SPC=20) $
or
DBEQUIV DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10) CONVERT(SPC=20) $
Main Index
DBEQUIV 975
Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters
The WILDCARD keyword may be added in order to wildcard all qualifiers
not already specified in where-expr. For example to equivalence all KAA
where SPC=10 and regardless of MPC, SEID, etc.:
DBEQUIV DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10 AND WILDCARD) CONVERT(SPC=20) $
Note: WILDCARD applies only to qualifiers and not colnames like PROJECT,
PROJNO, VERSION, CDATE, etc.
2. The data block and parameter names in datablk-list and param-list cannot be
alias names specified on the subDMAP argument list. datablk-list and
param-list must specify the name of the data block or parameter as defined
in the NDDL.

DBVIEW 985
Creates virtual datalock
DBVIEW Creates virtual datalock
Creates virtual data block (or view) from one or more data blocks.
Format:
DBVIEW view-name = data-block WHERE (where-expr) $
(WHERE where-expr)
Describers:
view-name Name of the view; 1 through 8 characters in length. The first character
must be alphabetic. The following characters can be used for
view-names: A through Z and 0 through 9.
data-block Name of a data block.
where-expr A logical expression that specifies the desired values of qualifiers,
PROJECT, PROJNO, VERSION, and DBSET. For example,
WHERE(VERSION=4 AND SEID< >2 AND SEID>0) selects all items
under version 4 for all values of SEID greater than 0 except 2. See
“WHERE and CONVERT Clauses” on page 44 and Remark 6. Be aware
that certain restrictions apply to the where-expr when the viewname
will be used to specify an output data block on a module (see Remark 8).
Remarks:
1. DBVIEW is a nonexecutable statement defined only at compilation. It is not
affected by IF ( ) THEN or DO WHILE blocks. Where-expr, however, is
evaluated dynamically for the current values of data-block qualifiers at the
module where view-name is specified for input.
2. DBVIEW must be specified prior to the first occurrence of the use of the
view-name. It may only be specified as an input data block to a DMAP
module.
3. If the data-block is “not generated” or if no data blocks satisfy the
where-expr, then the view-name will be considered as “not generated.” Also,
if the where-expr contains a qualifier that is not in the path of the data-block
then the view-name is not generated.
4. view-name is recognized only in the current subDMAP.
5. A view-name that results in more than one data block is also called a family.
If a family is specified as input to a module that does not use families, then
the first data block stored will be the one that is used.
Main Index
986 DBVIEW
Creates virtual datalock
6. The values assigned to qualifiers not specified in the where-expr are taken
from current values. “AND WILDCARD” may be specified in the where-
expr to indicate that unspecified qualifiers do not have to match their current
values to satisfy the DBVIEW statement.
7. A comma may be used in place of the spaces shown under Format to
continue the DBVIEW statement on more than one line. For example,
DBVIEW UGX=UG,
(WHERE SEID=10 AND,
SPC=20,
AND VERSION=5) $
8. 8. If the view-name in the subDMAP is used for an output datablock on a
module then the following restrictions apply:
a. The only operator allowed between qualifier assignments is the ";". For
example, WHERE(SEID)=10; PEID=20).
Note: Any view-name specified by a DBVIEW statement using the ";" separator
can also be used for input datablocks (in this case, any ";" in the Where Expr
will be interpreted as the boolean "and" operator).
b. Only one datablock can be specified by the DBVIEW statement (families
are not supported for output datablocks).
c. PROJECT, PROJNO, VERSION,Where Expr modifier "WILDCARD", and
the use of qualifier_name=* are not allowed in the Where Expr.
Examples:
1. The following DBVIEW statement creates a view-name of KAA data blocks
called KAA10 for the path qualifier (see the PATH NDDL-Statement) SEID
= 10 and for the current values of the remaining KAA path qualifiers.
DBVIEW KAA10 = KAA (WHERE SEID=10) $
2. The following DBVIEW statement creates a view-name of the data block
BULK, which is stored under the version referenced on the RESTART FMS
statement and gives it the virtual name BULKR to differentiate it from the
current data block BULK.
PROJVER //’RESTART’/S,N,RESPROJ/S,N,RESVER/S,N,EXISTS $
DBVIEW BULKR = BULK (WHERE VERSION=RESVER AND
PROJNO=RESPROJ) $
Main Index
DBVIEW 987
Creates virtual datalock
3. The following DBVIEW statement creates a view-name for the datablock
KAA. The view-name will be used as an output datablock to a DMAP
module. The path qualifiers for this output datablock will be assigned
SEID=20 and SEID=10 and the remaining KAA path qualifiers will be set to
the current values.
DBVIEW KAA20 = KAA WHERE (SEID=20 ; PEID=10) $
4. The following DMAP sequence creates view-names for three input
datablocks and four output datablocks, using the same data block "XYZ".
DBVIEW IN1=XYZ, WHERE(SERIES3=JJ AND SERIES5=0 AND SERIES7=0) $
DBVIEW IN2=XYZ, WHERE(SERIES3=JJ+1 AND SERIES5=0 AND SERIES7=0) $

Output Data Blocks:
LD Nonstandard lower triangular factor [L] and diagonal matrix [D] or
Cholesky Factor. [LD] also contains [D] for symmetric decomposition.
U Upper triangular factor or high ratios matrix. If A is unsymmetric then
U is the nonstandard upper triangular factor of [A] or the Cholesky
factor. If A is symmetric and the value of system cell 166 includes the
value of 8 then U contains the contains the "high ratio terms of the
factor diagonal ratios". See Remark 4.

LAO Sparse partial decomposition factor when KSYM=3.
AAP Sparse partial reduced matrix in update matrix format when KSYM=3.
LSCM Schur complement matrix based on internal partitioning of A.
Parameters:
KSYM Input/output-integer-default=1.
1 Use symmetric decomposition (default).
0 Use unsymmetric decomposition.
-1 Use decomposition consistent with form of [A]. KSYM will be reset
to 0 or 1 consistent with actual decomposition type.
3 Use symmetric partial decomposition.
CHOLSKY Input-integer-default=0. If KSYM=1 or KSYM=-1 and [A] is symmetric
then:
1 Use Cholesky decomposition.
0 Use standard decomposition (default).
If KSYM=3, then CHOLSKY is set to the number of degrees of freedom
in the o-set.
BAILOUT Input-integer-default=0. If BAILOUT>0, then the module exits with
error message if factor to diagonal ratio exceeds MAXRATIO. If
BAILOUT<-1, then the module continues with warning message if
factor to diagonal ratio exceeds MAXRATIO.
MAXRATIO Input-real-default=1.E5. See the BAILOUT and ERR parameters.
SETNAME Input-character-default=‘H’. One or two letters indicating the set
membership of [A].

ERR Output-integer-default=-1. If BAILOUT=-1, this parameter always
remains at zero. If BAILOUT=0 and the factor to diagonal ratio is
greater than MAXRATIO, ERR is reset to -1.
LMTROWS Input-integer-default=0. Number of Lagrange Multipliers appended to
the A matrix. These rows are excluded from the internal reordering in
the DCMP module.
Remarks:
1. This module performs all of the functions of the DECOMP module and
responds to the same system cells. However the DCMP module default for
KSYM is 1 instead of -1, which is the default for DECOMP. All Remarks
given for the DECOMP module also apply to the DCMP module.
2. If given unsymmetric matrices (“Form 1"), the mechanism diagnostics are
not provided. The module is then functionally equivalent to the DECOMP
module.
3. Data blocks USET, SIL, and PARTVEC and parameter SETNAME are
required for the most efficient method of decomposition. PARTVEC is only
required if A is not the same size as SETNAME.
4. If A is symmetric then U contains the "MATRIX/FACTOR DIAGONAL
RATIO values printed under UWM 4698. The mathematical definition of U
is
Diag(A) = Ad, a vector.
Main Index
DCMP 991
Matrix decomposition with extended diagnostics
Diag(T) = Dd, a vector.
In some circumstances T is not a diagonal matrix. The high ratio test being
defined here has no validity in the regions where there are off-diagonal
terms (2 by 2 pivots), so those rows are ignored in this testing. The ratio is
defined as
Vi = Adi/Ddi
Regions where the model is approaching singularity have small Ddi terms.
They are divided into Adi to non-dimensionalize them, and checked against
a quality parameter value named MAXRATIO. The default value for
MAXRATIO is 1.E7, but the user is allowed to change its value. Terms less
than MAXRATIO are set to zero in Vi. If any terms remain, the matrix is
identified as singular, and various warning and fatal messages may appear,
depending on the context in which the DCMP module is being called.
This vector may be used to better identify singularities and provide other
actions when they are being approached. This feature is used in normal
modes analysis, where points with high ratios are automatically constrained
to ground, to make the eigensolution more stable.
5. The sparse symmetric decomposition method may be used to decompose
only a certain partition specified by a partitioning vector (PARTVEC input
data block for DCMP). In this case the following decomposition is obtained:
A oo A oa L oo D oo T LT
L oo
A = = ao
A ao A aa L ao I A aa I
where
T
A aa = A aa – L ao D oo L ao
The results of L oo, D oo, L ao are written to LD and aa to LSCM.

The equivalent load vector is computed:
a 2 2
{ P d } = { P d } – { K dd } { u d } – [ B dd ] { u· d } – [ M dd ] { u·· d } Eq. 4-7
For a transient analysis problem { u d } , { u· d } , and { u·· d } are given explicitly. For
frequency response analysis,
{ u· d } = iω { u d } Eq. 4-8

{ u·· d } = – ω { u d } Eq. 4-9
where ω is the forcing frequency and { u d } is the complex response vector. ω comes
from PPF. The vector { P ad } is the sum of applied loads and inertia loads due to the
motion of the system approximated by its lower modes. The static solution using these
loads will provide a better answer for displacements.

Performs matrix method data recovery
Method:
A matrix of modal solution data is formed from each of the modal SDR solution data
blocks input to the module. These data matrices and the matrix solution vectors are
multiplied to form an output matrix.
If the modal solutions input to the modal are SORT1, the equation is
1 1
[ Output Matrix ] = [ Data Matrix ] ⋅ [ Solution Matrix ] Eq. 4-17
If the modal solutions input to the module are SORT2, the equation is
2 T 2
[ Output Matrix ] = [ Solution Matrix ] ⋅ [ Data Matrix ] Eq. 4-18
The output matrix formed for each modal input data block is converted to output data
block format for processing by the module OFP.
In Eq. 4-17 and Eq. 4-18, the solution matrix contains one solution vector (column) of
size h (= number of eigenvalues used) for each time or frequency step. Thus,
[ Solution Matrix ] is of size Rows ⋅ Columns
where:
Rows = Number of eigenvalues
Columns = Number of time or frequency steps
In the above, the data matrix, if the modal data input is SORT1, contains one column
vector for each eigenvalue used. Each column contains all modal output component
results for all elements or points requested. If the modal data input is SORT2, the data
matrix will be the transpose of that for SORT1 input data, due to the data input
processing requirements. Thus,
1
[ Data Matrix ] is of size Rows ⋅ Columns
where:
Rows = Σ components of all points or elements requested.
Columns = number of time or frequency steps being output.

4 Do not issue fatal message if maximum ratios are exceeded. The
maximum ratios are replaced by 1.0.
2. Nonstandard triangular factor matrix data blocks are used to improve the
efficiency of the back substitution process in module FBS.
3. If the value of 16 is specified for the DECOMP parameter, then SING is set to
one if unit values are placed on the diagonal.
4. If KSYM = 3, the [A] matrix is decomposed through the first n degrees of
freedom, where n is the value provided by the CHOLSKY parameter. The
resulting trapezoidal factor is output as [L] and the remaining
undecomposed partition of the [A] matrix, with contributions from the first
n degrees of freedom added, is output as [U].
5. Cholesky factors (matrix form 10) can be used for all standard matrix
operations; e.g., ADD, MPYAD, etc. All other factors are packed,

1004 DECOMP
Matrix decomposition
7. In decomposing symmetric matrices, [ A ] = [ L ] [ D ] [ L ]T , the diagonal factor [ D ]
is stored in the diagonal of the [ LD ] matrix output. The [ U ] = [ L ] T factor is
not output for this case.
8. Matrices with zero diagonal terms may be reliably solved if the
corresponding leading minor is nonzero. A more conservative course is to
take a fatal error exit when zero diagonals occur, regardless of the value of
the leading minor. This action is obtained by setting DECOMP = 32.
9. Parallel sparse decomposition is selected with the NASTRAN statement
keyword PARALLEL (or SYSTEM (107)). To obtain optimal performance, it
is also recommended that the SEQP module be used with parameter
NEWSEQ = 2.
Examples:
1. Solve [ A ] [ X ] = [ B ] .
DECOMP A/L,U,/ $
FBS L,U,B/X/ $
MATPRN X// $
2. Form [ K ] = [ G ] T [ A ] [ G ] .
Then decompose [ K ] into [ L ] [ L ]T assuming [ K ] is a symmetric matrix.
SMPYAD G,A,G,,,/K/3////1////6 $
DECOMP K/L,,/ $
3. Calculate
–1
K aa = K aa – K ao K oo K oa
using partial decomposition, then form L oo given the following:
• NOOSET integer parameter defining the size of K oo .
• NOASET integer parameter defining the size of K aa and K oa .
• NOFSET = NOOSET + NOASET

1006 DIAGONAL
Extracts diagonal from matrix or raises matrix to a power
DIAGONAL Extracts diagonal from matrix or raises matrix to a power
Extracts the diagonal elements from a matrix, raises each term to a specified power,
and outputs a vector (column matrix) or a rectangular matrix.
Format:
DIAGONAL A/B/OPT/POWER $
Input Data Block:
A Square or diagonal matrix (real or complex) if OPT ≠ ′WHOLE′ or
rectangular (real or complex) matrix if OPT = ’WHOLE’
Output Data Block:
B Real vector (column matrix) or a rectangular matrix containing the
terms of A raised to a power
Parameters:
OPT Input-character-default='COLUMN'. Type of matrix output.
'COLUMN' Extract the diagonal elements of square matrix A into
vector B (if A is complex then only the real part is
extracted) and then raise the elements to the exponent
POWER.
'SQUARE' Extract the diagonal elements of square matrix A into
diagonal matrix B (if A is complex then extract only the
real part) and then raise the elements to the exponent
POWER.
'WHOLE' Copy rectangular matrix A into rectangular matrix B
and then raise the elements to the exponent POWER. If
A is complex and POWER<>1.0 then extract only the
real part; however, if POWER=1.0 then B will contain
the magnitude of the elements.
POWER Input-real single precision-default=1. Exponent to which the real part
of each element is raised. See Remarks.
Main Index
DIAGONAL 1007
Extracts diagonal from matrix or raises matrix to a power
Remarks:
1. OPT = 'COLUMN' or 'SQUARE' provide exactly the same functions, except
the output using COLUMN is a vector, and the output using SQUARE is a
square diagonal matrix. Both options process only the real part of the
diagonal terms of the input matrix.
If POWER = 0., unit column or the identity matrix of the dimension of the
input matrix is produced. This is an efficient method for producing these
useful DMAP tools. OPT = 'WHOLE' operates on all terms of the input
matrix to produce an output matrix of the same dimension. Sparse factor
matrices (form = 11, 13, or 15) are not supported with OPT = 'WHOLE'. Each
term is processed independently.
2. OPT = 'WHOLE' operates on all terms of the input matrix to produce an
output matrix of the same dimension. Sparse factor matrices (form = 11, 13,
or 15) are not supported with OPT = 'WHOLE'. Each term is processed
independently.
If POWER = 0., then all nonzero terms of [A] will produce unit terms in [B].
Zero terms in [A] will produce zero terms in [B]. This is a means for
producing Boolean matrices. [A] may be either real or complex.
If POWER = 1.0, then [B] is a real matrix with terms that are the absolute
value of the terms of [A]. If [A] is complex then [B] contains the magnitude
2 2
( a +b )
of the terms of [A].
3. For fractional values of POWER and OPT = 'WHOLE', all elements must be
nonnegative and for OPT = 'COLUMN' or 'SQUARE' all diagonal elements
must be nonnegative.
4. For whole number values of POWER, only real [A] matrices are allowed. The
sign of the terms of [A] are properly preserved.
5. If an illegal operation is requested, a warning message is produced, and [B]
is purged.
Examples:
1. Extract the diagonal terms from LOO and KOO and form the ratio of factor
diagonal to diagonal terms and print terms less than 10 –3 .

Generates tables relating to grid perturbations
Remarks:
1. DOPR6 prepares tables to generate new stiffness matrix, mass matrix, load
vector, etc. taking into account shape design variable perturbations, i.e.,
K+DELTAK, M+DELTAM etc. This is accomplished by generating an EST
for all elements which are referred to by design variables. The generated EST
is in the same ascending order as the original EST. TABEVS is a cross
reference table between the generated EST (ESTDVS) and the original
EID/design variables.
2. DOPR6 also retains those designed grids which are not associated with any
structural elements but are referenced by a rigid element.

Input Data Blocks:
OFPi Output table in SORT1 format usually created by the SDR2 module.
Output Data Blocks:
TOFPi Directory table for MOFPi.
MOFPi Matrix form of the i-th output table.
Parameters:
NCOL Input-integer-default=0. Number of columns (i.e.; subcases, modes,
time steps or frequencies) desired in the output matrices. By default,
all data records will be converted into the output matrices. If NCOL is
less than the number of data records in the input table, then the first
NCOL records are converted and the remaining records are ignored.
NULLROW Input-integer-default=1. Flag to insert null rows in the output
matrices for nonlinear quantities. See Remark 1.
0 Insert null rows. Compatible with DRMS1 output format.
1 Do not insert null rows. Required for DRMH3 processing.

TOFPi's trailer.
Remarks:
1. DRMH1 is a similar to the DRMS1 module except that only the linear
quantities (e.g., axial stress) are output to the matrix. However, if
NULLROW=0, then null rows will be inserted for the nonlinear quantities
(e.g., margin-of-safety).

Main Index
DRMH3 1069
Partitions tables for each superelement
DTMi Input-integer-default=0. Mode acceleration based displacement matrix
flag. If DTMi<>0, then MOPFi is a mode acceleration based
displacement matrix and, therefore, velocities and accelerations will
not be output to OFPi. For APP='TRANRESP', MOFPi must have only
one column per time step instead of the usual three.
Remarks:
1. If CASECC is purged, then all input data blocks will be converted.
Otherwise, the inputs will be converted based on the output commands
specified in CASECC.
2. If the number of entries in a matrix does not match the associated table, the
following will occur:
If the number of rows (output quantities; e.g., stresses) does not match, a
warning message will be printed with the identification of the matrix and
table name.
If the number of columns (e.g., subcases or mode) does not match, then a
warning message will be printed and the module will continue. This will
allow the user to combine modal results using any desired method into a
single set of results (or more) and not be required to modify the table.

time steps or frequencies) desired in the output matrices. By default, all
data records will be converted into the output matrices. If NCOL is less
than the number of data records in the input table, then the first NCOL
records are converted and the remaining records are ignored.
Remarks:
1. SDR2 output data blocks (OFPi) are input data blocks for this module.
Module DRMS1 generates the output transformation matrix (MOFPi) and
associated directory table (TOFPi) from each of the input data blocks.
2. There are some data in OFPi for the output transformation that may not be
given linear combination operations, such as margins of safety and principal
stresses. This irrelevant data will be eliminated from the output
transformation matrix. Components that are retained in the matrix MOFPi
are indicated in the table of element stress output data description.

3. All the output transformation matrices will have as many columns as the
number of modes or loading conditions specified in PARAM, NCOL. Each
column will contain all the relevant components of GRIDs (T1, T2, etc.) or
elements ( σ x , σ y , etc.) for all the GRIDs or elements retained in the input data
blocks.
4. Directory tables contain the mapping information as follows:
• RECORD 0 - Header record, indicating.
• Type of data ( φ , q, σ , or F).
• Format code (real, real/imaginary or magnitude/phase).
• RECORD 1 - Identification of the columns, providing
• Column numbers of the associated matrix.

DSABO 1073
Incorporates element property design variable perturbations
Parameters:
PROPOPT Output-integer-default=0. Property optimization flag. Set to 1 if
element properties are defined as design variables.
DELTAB Input-real-no default. Relative finite difference move parameter as
specified on the DOPTPRM Bulk Data entry and stored in the OPTPRM
data block.
PROTYP Input-integer-default=0. Designed property type code.
1 DVPRELi entries exist.
2 DVCRELi entries exist.
4 DVMRELi entries exist.
>0 For combinations add above values.
PEXIST Input-logical-default=FALSE. p-element flag. Set to TRUE if
p-elements are present.
Remarks:
1. The main purpose of module DSABO is to prepare tables which will generate
a new stiffness matrix, mass matrix, load vector, etc., while taking into
account the design variable perturbations, i.e., K + DELTAK, M + DELTAM,
etc. These calculations are completed by generating an EST for all elements
which are referred to by the design variables which is in the same ascending
order as the original EST. The EPT portion of the generated EST includes all
the perturbations necessary to build K + DELTAK, M + DELTAM, etc. EMG
and SSG1 use ESTDV to generate K + DELTAK, M + DELTAM and P +
DELTAP due to temperature effects. DSVG1 and DSVG2 then calculate
DELTAK * u, DELTAP etc.
2. If central difference is requested then DSABO must be executed for the
backward tables. For example, in subDMAP PSLGDV, DSABO is used as
follows:
DSABO ECTS,EPTS,EST,DTOS2,ETT,DIT,MPTS/

DSAD 1081
Processes tables related to design sensitivity response evaluation
Remarks:
1. DSAD first extracts the response quantities that are defined as type one
responses in the design model. The type two responses are evaluated
followed by the objective and any constraints associated with either response
type. The constraints and corresponding responses are screened and load
case deletion is performed.
2. DSAD is intended to be executed for each analysis type and superelement,
and therefore many of the inputs, outputs, and data blocks are qualified by
superelement and/or analysis type. See subDMAP DESCON for an
example.

1104 DSAP
Computes an inertial or pseudo-load matrix
Parameters:
APP Input-character-no default. Analysis type. Allowable values:
'FREQ' Frequency response
'CEIG' Complex eigenvalue
'REIG' Normal modes
Remarks:
1. The number of rows PX is equal to the number of rows in the input matrices.
The number of columns in PX is also equal to the number of columns in the
input matrices unless DSPT1 is specified, in which case the number of
columns is equal to the number of columns in the input matrices times the
design variables defined in DSPT1.
2. If the number of columns in the MUX, BUX, and KUX is less than the number
of frequencies in OL then PX will be truncated accordingly.
3. Any of the inputs may be purged except for OL. If DSPT1 is specified then
APP can only be equal to 'FREQ' and the summation is repeated for each
design variable and the result is called pseudo-loads. Also, the result is the
negative of the equation above.
4. The input matrices can have any number of rows. For example, the number
of rows could relate to a degree-of-freedom set.

Input Data Block:
DBP Primary data block.
Output Data Block:
DBS Secondary data block.
Parameter:
PARM Input-integer-default = 0. Equivalence flag. See Remark 3.
Remarks:
1. The main purpose of the EQUIVX is to save either storage space or l/O time
or both.
2. If DBP and DBS reside on different DBsets and PARAM < 0, then a copy of
DBP is made to the DBset on which DBS resides. The equivalence flag is
broken and the data blocks become separate. These rules apply only if the
secondary data block resides on a permanent DBset or DBS is not referenced
on a TYPE DB statement and its DBset is a scratch DBset. Therefore, it is
recommended that DBS is referenced on a TYPE statement and defined in the
NDDL sequence with its location assigned to the scratch DBset.
3. The following tables summarize the relationship between primary and
secondary:

4. If DBS is also declared on the FILE DBS=APPEND statement then User
Warning Message 81 will be issued. If the EQUIVX.../DBS statement is
executed only once and is not re-executed in the DMAP loop, then the
message may be safely ignored. However, if the EQUIVX statement is
potentially re-executed then it should be replaced with the DELETE and
COPY module.
For example,

DELETE /ESTNCH,,,, $
COPY ESTNL/ESTNCH $
Examples:

FBS 1173
Matrix forward/backward substitution
FBS Matrix forward/backward substitution
To solve the matrix equation [ A ] [ X ] = ± [ B ] (right-hand solution) or
[ X ] T [ A ] = [ B ] T (left-hand solution) using the triangular factors computed by
DCMP or DECOMP. Forward-only and backward-only of right-hand solutions can
also be provided for factors of symmetric matrices (see Remark 6).
Format:
FBS LD,U,B/X/KSYM/SIGN/FBTYP/FBREST/UNUSED/UNCOUP $
Input Data Blocks:
LD Lower triangular factor/diagonal, or Cholesky factor.
U Upper triangular factor. Purged unless [ A ] is unsymmetric.
B Rectangular matrix.
Output Data Block:
X Rectangular matrix having the same dimensions as [ B ] .
Parameters:
KSYM Input-integer-default = -1. Symmetry flag.
-1 choose symmetric if [ U ] is purged, otherwise unsymmetric
(default).
0 matrix [ A ] is unsymmetric.
1 matrix [ A ] is symmetric.
2 perform left-handed solution.
SIGN Input-integer-default = 1. Sign of [ B ] .
1 solve [ A ] [ X ] = [ B ] (default).
-1 solve [ A ] [ X ] = – [ B ] (default).
FBTYP Input-integer-default = 0. Forward or backward pass selection.
-1 perform backward pass only.
0 perform forward and backward passes (default).
1 perform forward pass only.
Main Index
1174 FBS
Matrix forward/backward substitution
FBREST Input-integer-default=0. Internal restart flag.
UNUSED Input-integer-default=0. Unused.
UNCOUP Input-logical-default=FALSE. Setting UNCOUP to TRUE results in a
special sparse FBS which is optimal for uncoupled systems.
(Unsymmetric FBS only.)
Remarks:
1. FBS employs one of two methods--sparse or non-sparse--based on the
decomposition method used by DCMP or DECOMP in computing the factor
matrices. For example, if sparse methods were used to compute the factors,
then FBS uses the sparse method. The default decomposition and FBS
method is sparse. There also submethods (FBSOPT<>0) which only apply to
non-sparse methods and are ignored for sparse methods. See Remark 5.
2. Nonstandard triangular factor matrix data blocks are used to improve the
efficiency of the backward substitution process.
3. Solutions with Cholesky factors will be performed if the lower triangular
factor matrices are form 10.
4. The diagonal factor of symmetric matrices is stored as the diagonal of [ D ] .
When using the forward-pass only and backward-pass only options, [ D ] is
included in the forward pass.
5. The keyword FBSOPT (or SYSTEM(70)) on the NASTRAN statement may be
used for FBS method selection (non-sparse only). If the FBSOPT keyword is
not used, the program will select the FBS method, which results in the lower
sum of CPU and I/O time.
FBSOPT Non-sparse Submethod Selection
-2 Method 1A
-1 Method 1
0 Automatic selection method based on minimum of l/O +
CPU time
+1 Method 2
6. The equation for forward-only solution is [ L ] [ X ] = ± [ B ] , and for
backward-only the solution is [ L ] T [ X ] = ± [ B ] . Both are right-hand
solutions.
Main Index

Matrix forward/backward substitution
7. Left-hand solutions (KSYM = 2) are available for factors of symmetric or
unsymmetric matrices. Also, the NASTRAN keyword FBSLEFT=n or
SYSTEM(72)=n in the FMS section, or PUTSYS(n,72) in the DMAP sequence,
specifies the transpose flag on [ B ] :
If n=0 then FBS solves [ L ] [ U ] = ± [ B ] T .
If n=1 then FBS solves ] T [ L ] [ U ] = ± [ B ].
8. Parallel processing in this module (Method 1A only) is selected with the
NASTRAN statement keyword PARALLEL (or SYSTEM (107)). To force
parallel processing, also specify NASTRAN FBSOPT = -2, SPARSE = 0.
9. For the sparse method the B matrix must be in machine precision. See
Remarks under the “DECOMP” on page 1000 module description.
10. See the MSC.Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide for further details on
the FBS module and related topics.

1. Solve [ A ] [ X ] = [ B ] where [ A ] could be either symmetric or unsymmetric.

FILE 1177
Data block declaration
FILE Data block declaration
Declares special characteristics of a data block(s).
Format:
FILE DB1=[SAVE,APPEND,OVRWRT]/DB2=[SAVE,APPEND,
OVRWRT]/... $
Data Blocks:
DBi Names of the data blocks possessing special characteristics.
Parameters:
SAVE Indicates data block is to be saved for possible looping in DMAP
program.
APPEND Same as SAVE and also allows a module to append other data blocks
to DBi on successive passes through a DMAP loop.
OVRWRT Allows a data block to be overwritten.
Remarks:
1. FILE is a nonexecutable DMAP instruction that is used only by the DMAP
compiler for information purposes. It may appear anywhere in subDMAP. It
is also a local declaration; i.e., it must be declared in all subDMAPs where the
SAVE, APPEND, or OVRWRT is needed.
2. A data block name may appear only once in all FILE statements within a
subDMAP; otherwise, the first appearance will determine all special
characteristics applied to the data block.
3. The APPEND keyword should only be applied to local scratch data blocks.
In other words, the data block should not be referenced on a TYPE DB
statement. It is also recommended that the APPEND keyword not be applied
to data blocks that appear as output on the EQUIVX module. See the
“EQUIVX” on page 1164 module description for further details.
Example:
1. Data block C is created only in the first pass through the loop and must be
"saved" for subsequent passes:
FILE C=SAVE $
TYPE PARM,,CS,N,R=(1.,0.) $
TYPE PARM,,I,N,COUNT=1 $

Main Index
GKAM 1201
Assembles modal mass, damping and stiffness matrices

set to -1, then viscous modal damping (SDAMPING Case Control
command) will be included in the stiffness matrix as structural
damping.

Method:
The dynamic matrices expressed in modal coordinates are assembled in GKAM
(General K Assembler-Modal) as follows:
T
[ K hh ] = [ k ] + [ φ dh ] [ K dd
2 ][ φ ]
dh Eq. 4-24
T
[ M hh ] = [ m ] + [ φ dh ] [ M dd
2 ][φ ]
dh Eq. 4-25
and
T
[ B hh ] = [ b ] + [ φ dh ] [ B dd
2 ][φ ]
dh Eq. 4-26
where, if PARAM,KDAMP = 1 (default)
m i = modal mass
b i = 2πf i g ( f i )m i
k i = 4π 2 f i2 m i
If PARAM,KDAMP = -1 in complex eigenvalue analysis, modal frequency response,
aerodynamic flutter, and aeroelastic response, the viscous modal damping will be
incorporated into the complex stiffness matrix as follows:
Main Index
1202 GKAM
Assembles modal mass, damping and stiffness matrices
m i = modal mass
bi = 0
k i = [ 1 + ig ( f i ) ]4π 2 f i2 m i
Values of g ( f i ) are specified on the TABDMP1 Bulk Data entry, selected by the
SDAMPING Case Control command. If KDAMP = 1 (default), the matrices [ b ] and
[ k ] are formulated as in modal transient response.
Remarks:
1. USETD may be purged if there are no extra points (NOUE<0).
2. PHA and LAMA cannot be purged.
3. CASECC and DIT cannot be purged if SDAMPING is specified.
4. M2DD, B2DD, K2DD, and MI may be purged.
5. LAMA may be purged as long as both MI and LAMMAT exist. Using MI and
LAMMAT is preferable to LAMA because the the values in MI and
LAMMAT are in machine precision.
6. No output matrix can be purged.
7. HFREQ and LFREQ are ignored if LMODES>0.
8. See Section 9.4.10 of the MD Nastran Reference Manual for further details.
9. If modes are not selected with HFREQ, LFREQ and LMODES parameters or
the MODESELECT command and NOUE < 0, then PHDH will be purged
and a subsequent EQUIVX from PHA to PHDH must be executed.

GPWG 1233
Computes center of mass of structure relative to a given point
Method:
The Grid Point Weight Generator (GPWG) module calculates the masses, centers of
gravity, and inertias of the general mathematical model of the structure. The data are
extracted from the [ M gg ] matrix by using a rigid body transformation calculation. The
transformation is defined by the global coordinate displacements resulting from unit
translations and rotations of the whole body about a reference point.
Because of the scalar mass effects, the total mass may have directional properties, and
the center of gravity may not be a unique location. This effect is shown in the output
by giving each of the the three masses its own direction and center of gravity. The
inertia terms are calculated by using the directional mass effects. The axes about
which the inertial terms are calculated may not intersect. However, these axes are
those which provide uncoupled rotation and translation effects. This is the
significance of the term "center of gravity." If the structural model has been
constructed using only real masses. the three masses printed out will be equal, the
center of gravity will be unique, and the axes of the inertia terms will intersect at the
center of gravity.
The actual computation proceeds in four parts:
1. Computation of the [ D ]T matrix: six vectors are formed that will describe the
six motions about the reference point. The matrix [ D ] is formed from the
vectors that describe rigid body displacements in global coordinates in terms
of the six unit displacements and rotations in basic coordinates at the
reference point
[ u·· g ] = [ D ] [ u·· o ] (reference point) Eq. 4-29
Method of Generation
Each grid point is considered in order. If it is a scalar point, zero is stored in
each of the six columns of [ D ] . If it is a grid point,
r1
{ ri } = { Ri } – { Ro } = r2 Eq. 4-30
r3
is computer where { R i } is the basic coordinate of the i-th grid point given in
the BGPDT table and { R o } is the location of the reference point.

generated a column at a time and packed out onto a scratch file.
2. If all points were scalar point, GPWG returns; otherwise, form [ D ] from [ D ] T .
3. [ M o ] is computed

Remarks:
1. If DIT is purged, GUST will return (setting NOGUST = - 1).
2. CSTMA may be purged.
3. Often the shape (time dependence) of the gust is unknown, except for certain
statistical information, e.g., power spectral density and RMS value. In these
cases the GUST module must create frequency-dependent loads. Sometimes
the gust shape is specified as a function of time, which will be analyzed by
Fourier transform techniques. Then the frequency dependent loads are
calculated by Fourier transform.
The value of the load is calculated from the downwash distribution. The
calculation involves the aerodynamic formulation. For all methods (except
strip theory) the downwash is a part of the aerodynamic theory used in the
AMG-AMP modules. The downwash is associated with the j-set, which
corresponds to the Ajj matrix. The loads are computed from the downwash
using aerodynamic matrices.
The downwash to be provided comes from a simple model of the
atmosphere. The velocity is vertical (in the z-direction of the aerodynamic
coordinate system), and appears (to an observer) in the airplane coordinates
to sweep back toward the +x direction. This implies that the downwash
vector has two properties:

Parameters:

Purpose:
The purpose of this module is to obtain solutions versus time for frequency response
for which the forces are only known as functions of frequency.

1266 IFT
Performs an inverse Fourier transform
where ũ ( ω ) is considered to be a known input (frequency response, and u ( t ) is the
output (time response). Several approximations will be used for evaluation of Eq. 4-
55. A special algorithm is to be used for equal ∆ω ’s, which can result in savings of
computation times. A special algorithm will be introduced to provide for a cubic
spline fit for ũ ( ω ) between the data points.
Method:
General Approach. The integral will be expressed as a finite sum. The input data
block UXF has one row for each mode, and a column (complex) for each frequency.
The output UXT will have the same number of rows, but with these columns for each
time step. Frequencies and times have been selected via standard FREQi and TSTEP
Bulk Data entries. Each row of the input matrix is transformed into a row of the
output.

through DB5. If DBi is a matrix, then the corresponding
NDDLNAMi is 'MATRIX'. Used only to read unformatted (binary)
Fortran files created on non-native computers.
Remarks:
1. Any or all of the output data blocks may be purged. Only nonpurged data
blocks will be taken from the tape. The data blocks will be taken sequentially
from the tape starting from a position determined by the value of the first
parameter. Note that the output data block sequence A,B,,, is the same as
,A,,B, or ,,,A,B.
2. The ASSIGN FMS statement is recommended for assigning the FORTRAN
unit. Certain FORTRAN units are reserved, see “Making File Assignments”
on page 110 of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations Guide for a
listing of reserved FORTRAN units.
3. Data blocks will be read from the FORTRAN unit in either binary or neutral
format, depending upon the FORM option of the ASSIGN FMS statement. If
no ASSIGN FMS statement is specified, then binary input is assumed.
4. The format of the FORTRAN binary file is given in the OUTPUT2 description
5. Factor matrices (forms 4, 5, 10, 11, 13 and 15) cannot be processed by
INPUTT2.
Main Index
INPUTT4 1277
Inputs a matrix from a FORTRAN unit
INPUTT4 Inputs a matrix from a FORTRAN unit
Reads an ASCII or binary file from a FORTRAN unit and creates a matrix suitable for
input to other modules. OUTPUT4 module output may also be used as input.
Format:
INPUTT4 /M1,M2,M3,M4,M5/NMAT/IUNIT/ITAPE/UNUSED4/BIGMAT $
Output Data Blocks:
Mi Matrices
Parameters:
NMAT Input-integer-default=1. NMAT is the number of matrices that have
been written on the user-supplied unit. Must be less than or equal to 5.
IUNIT Input-integer-no default. The value of IUNIT is the FORTRAN unit
number on which the user-supplied matrix was written.
ITAPE Input-integer-default=-1. ITAPE controls the status of the unit before
INPUTT4 tries to extract any matrices as follows:
ITAPE Action
0 None.
-1 Rewind IUNIT before read.
-2 Rewind IUNIT at end.
-3 Both.
UNUSED4 Input-integer-default=1. Unused.
BIGMAT Input-logical-default=FALSE. BIGMAT = FALSE selects the format that
uses a string header as described under Remark 1. But, if the matrix has
more than 65535 rows, then BIGMAT will automatically be set to TRUE
regardless of the value specified.
Remarks:
1. Each matrix is read from IUNIT according to its ASSIGN FMS statement, and
the BIGMAT as shown in the remarks of the OUTPUT4 description.
2. Each real or complex matrix must have been written on IUNIT according to
the format below.
Main Index
• For example, in the nonsparse format and binary format (ASSIGN
FORM=UNFORMATTED), each matrix could be created (assumed on
FORTRAN unit 8) as follows:
Record 1-four word record
WRITE(8) NCOL,NROW,NF,NTYPE
Record 2,3,etc.
WRITE(8) ICOL,IROW,NW,(X(I),I=1,NW)
• If the ASCII format (ASSIGN FORM=FORMATTED) and the nonsparse
format is desired, then each matrix must be created as follows:
Record 1
WRITE(8,100) NCOL,NROW,NF,NTYPE
100 FORMAT(4I8)
Record 2, 3, etc.
WRITE(8,200) ICOL,IROW,NW,(X(I),I=1,NW)
200 FORMAT(3I8,(1P,5E16.9))
The format for X(I) above must be (1P,rEw.d),
where d is the number of digits in the fractional part, w must be greater than
d+7, and r is the integer part of 80/w.
• The MD Nastran "util" directory contains a utility subroutine called
MAKIDS in a file called mattst.f (or .for) which will write a matrix into the
format suitable for INPUTT4. See “Building and Using MATTST” on
page 269 of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations Guide.
• Zero terms must be explicitly present from the first nonzero in any column
to the last nonzero term unless the sparse matrix option is used.
• Null columns need not be input (they will be properly handled if they are
input).
3. The ASSIGN FMS statement is recommended for assigning the FORTRAN
unit. Selection of a proper value for IUNIT is machine dependent. If the
ASSIGN statement is not provided, then the format of the matrices on IUNIT
is assumed to be nonsparse and binary. The ASCII format requires an
ASSIGN FMS statement with the FORM = FORMATTED option. Certain
FORTRAN units are reserved, see “Making File Assignments” on page 110
of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations Guide for a listing of
reserved FORTRAN units.
4. The memory required is from the first nonzero entry in the column to the last
nonzero entry.
Main Index
5. Factor matrices from DECOMP and DCMP (matrix forms 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, and
15) cannot be processed by INPUTT4.

Main Index
Remarks:
1. The external program identified by PRGNAME will be passed arguments
from MD Nastran as specified by the ISHELL parameters. The external
program can be either a shell script or an executable program. It can either
mimic an internal module or provide any user-defined functionality that
requires access to MD Nastran's data structures.
2. MD Nastran remains in a "wait" state until the external program is
completed.
3. OUTPUT2, OUTPUT4, INPUTT2 and INPUTT4 modules are required to
pass tables and/or matrices into the external program.
4. The name of external program must be uppercase and limited to 8 characters.
5. The unit numbers must have associated ASSIGN statements. Based on the
ASSIGN statements, the module will automatically pass the physical
filenames associated with unit numbers to the external program. These
filenames are passed at the positions 31 through 34.
6. Errors encountered in ISHELL will not terminate the MD Nastran execution.
7. IRTN=-1 indicates a failure during invocation of PRGNAME. It is not related
to errors encountered within the invoked script or executable. For example,
PRGNAME cannot be found or does not have execute permission.
8. You will need a utility program to parse the arguments for your external
program. For example, use set -A argarray "$@" or a similar technique.
9. The FORTIO module must be used with ISHELL to OPEN and CLOSE
FORTRAN units referenced by the external program.
Example:
Invoke user executable DOITPGM:
ISHELL //'DOITPGM' $

The equation used to determine the coefficient of the (l,J)th term of the output matrix
is:
AT (I,J) = [ C1 ⋅ I + C2 ⋅ J + C3 ⁄ I + C4 ⁄ J +
I I
C5 ⋅ C6 + C7 ⋅ ( p, C )8 + C9 ⁄ ( I + J – 1 ) +

–1 –J
D9 ⁄ ( I + J – 1 ) + D10 ⋅ D11 + D12 ⋅ D13 ]
The Ci terms are input on two DTI Bulk Data entries. The entry referenced by P5
generates the real part of the term. The entry referenced by P6 generates the imaginary
part of the term. The terms referenced by P5 may be input using only the first physical
entry of the DTI entry (P5 < 0). The coefficients are defined by adjacent pairs of
numbers on the DTI entry. The first number of the pair is an integer that names the
coefficient being defined. For example, a value of 9 means the C9 value is to follow.
The second number of a pair is a real number that defines the value of the coefficient.

Option P1 = 3
Zeros out rows and columns of a matrix according to degree of freedom component
number.
Format:
MATMOD I1,,,,,/O1,/3/CODE $
Input Data Block:
I1 Any matrix. (Real or complex).
Output Data Block:
O1 I1 with rows and columns according to DOFs described by P2.
Parameter:
CODE Input-integer-default=0. Packed DOF code that identifies rows and
columns of I1 to be made null (e.g., 136 means degrees of freedom 1, 3,
and 6 for each grid point will be set to zero).
Main Index
1332 MATMOD

Remark:
I1 is assumed to consist only of grid point degrees of freedom. A code of 345 simply
zeros rows and columns 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, etc. of matrix I1. Users should
exercise caution when selecting this option on a resequenced matrix.

MATMOD I1,,,,,/O1,/4/LUSET $
Input Data Blocks:
I1 Any six-row by N-column matrix. (Real or complex).
SIL Scalar index list (SIL) table generated by the GP1 module.
Output Data Block:
O1 g-row by N-column matrix containing I1 at every grid point.
Parameter:
LUSET Integer-input-default=0. Used to supply the length of the g-set when
SIL is purged.
Remarks:
1. If SIL is purged, then MATMOD uses LUSET for the size of the g-set. The
assumption is made that only grids exist in the g-set. LUSET must not be zero
if SIL is purged.
Main Index

SIL Scalar index list table output from the GP1 module.
BGPDT Basic grid point definition table.
Output Data Block:
O1 g-row by N-column matrix containing I1 at every grid point.
Parameter:
LUSET Integer-input-default=0. Used to supply the length of the g-set when
SIL is purged. This parameter is valid for Forms 1 and 2 only.
P3 Integer-input-default=0. Coordinate system identification number.
Main Index
1334 MATMOD
Matrix modification
Remarks:
1. If P3 = 0, this option accepts a six row by six column matrix and the SIL table.
The output is a g-size square matrix containing the 6 x 6 input matrix along
the diagonal at every grid point. Scalar and extra points contain 0.0 values.
If P3 > 0, the 6 x 6 single-precision matrix will be the transformation matrix
from the coordinate system with the coordinate ID = P3 to the basic system.
If P3 points to a cylindrical or spherical coordinate system, then the
transformation location is at the origin of the P3 system. Scalar and extra
points contain 1.0.
If P3 = -1, the 6 x 6 single-precision matrix will be the global-to-basic
transformation for each grid point. Scalar and extra points contain 1.0.
2. If SIL is purged, the MATMOD uses LUSET for the size of the g-set. The
assumption is made that only grids exist in the g-set. LUSET must not be zero
if SIL is purged.
Examples:
Transform KGG to another coordinate system.
1. Assume TRANS to be a 6 x 6 transformation matrix and KGG was formed

Main Index
1342 MATMOD
Matrix modification
Output Data Block:
MATPOOLX MATPOOL-type table data block containing MATIN in DMIG format.
See Remarks 9. and 10.
Parameters:
PNDMIG Input-integer-default=0. If PNDMIG is non-zero, then DMIG punched
output will be generated. See Remarks 9. and 10.
SORTFLG Input-integer-default=0. The default assumes that the rows (and
columns, if applicable) of MATIN are in external sort. If SORTFLG is
non-zero, then it is assumed that they are in internal sort. See Remark
2.
TYPOUT Input-integer-default=0. The default sets the DMIG precision to
machine precision. The default maybe overridden by specifying the
following:
1 Real single precision format
2 Real double precision format
3 Complex single precision format
4 Complex double precision format
CCHAR Input-character-default=blank. Continuation characters to be used for
DMIG punched output. Only the first two characters of the non-blank
mnemonic are used for the continuation string. See Remark 3.
DMIGNAME Input-character-default=blank. The default will cause the name of the
MATIN input data block to the used for the matrix name in the DMIG
output. A non-blank name will cause that specified name to be used
for the matrix name in the DMIG output.
ROWSETNM Input-character-default=blank. The default assumes that the rows of
MATIN are of G-size. Any non-blank mnemonic specifies the
displacement set for the rows. See Remarks 4., 5. and 6.
COLSETNM Input-character-default=blank. If the form of MATIN is 1 (square) or
6 (symmetric), then the default assumes that the displacement set for
the columns is the same as that of the rows. If the form of MATIN is 2
(rectangular), then the default (or a mnemonic of ‘H’) assumes that the
columns do not represent any displacement set, but just sequential
entities. Any non-blank mnemonic other than ‘H’ specifies the
displacement set for the columns. See Remarks 4., 5. and 6.
Main Index
MATMOD 1343
Matrix modification
Remarks:
1. The form of MATIN must be either 1 (square), 6 (symmetric) or 2
(rectangular). If not, then a warning message will be issued and
MATPOOLX will not be generated.
2. If the default value of 0 for SORTFLG is used, the rows of MATIN must be of
G-size. If MATIN is square or symmetric, its columns must also be of G-size.
Further, the default value of 0 for SORTFLG also assumes that the rows and
columns of MATIN are in external sort. In order to accomplish this, it is
necessary to first generate a transformation matrix via the MATGEN module
Option 9 and then employ this matrix to transform the rows and columns of
MATIN from internal sort to external sort. (This is illustrated in the Example
shown below.)
3. If non-blank continuation characters are specified for CCHAR, then a
maximum of 99,999 DMIG entries can be generated for any single matrix. If
this maximum number is exceeded, the program terminates the job with a
fatal error.
4. The program checks to ensure that the number of rows and columns of
MATIN correspond to the displacement sets specified (or implied) by
ROWSETNM and COLSETNM. If this condition is not satisfied, the
program issues a warning message and proceeds without generating any
output from this call to the MATMOD module.
5. If the form of MATIN is either 1 (square) or 6 (symmetric), then the IFO field
on the generated DMIG entry is set to 1 or 6. If the form is 2 (rectangular),
then IFO is set to 2 if a displacement set is specified (or implied) for
COLSETNM. Otherwise, IFO is set to 9. (If the form is 6, only the terms in
one triangle are output. The MTRXIN module, which converts DMIG data
in MATPOOL-type data blocks into matrices, fills in the other triangle for
symmetric matrices.)
6. The rows of the DMIG entry are always labeled with the appropriate
grid/scalar IDs and component numbers. If a displacement set is specified
(or implied) for COLSETNM, then the columns of the DMIG entry are also
labeled with the appropriate grid/scalar IDs and component numbers.
Otherwise, the columns of the DMIG entry are labeled sequentially, starting
with unity.
7. The EQEXIN input data block may not be purged.
Main Index
1344 MATMOD
Matrix modification
8. The USET input data block may be purged if (a) the default value of 0 is used
for SORTFLG or (b) the displacement set specified (or implied) by
ROWSETNM is ‘G’ and the displacement set specified (or implied) by
COLSETNM is either ‘G’ or the columns are just sequential entities.
9. The MATPOOLX output data block may be purged if PNDMIG is specified
as non-zero and only the DMIG punched output is desired.
10. By employing the “APPEND” option on a DMAP FILE statement, a single
concatenated MATPOOLX output data block may be generated from
multiple calls to MATMOD Option 16. See the following Example 2.
Example 1:
Generate DMIG punched output for the boundary stiffness matrix KAA, the
boundary load matrix PA and the matrix GMN (representing the MPC/rigid element
equations) for an external superelement. The KAA DMIG entry is to be named
KAAEXTSE, the PA DMIG entry is to be named PAEXTSE and the GMN DMIG entry
is to be named GMNEXTSE.
The DMAP shown below illustrates the usage of Option 16 using input matrices in
internal sort (capability available in MSC.Nastran 2005 r2 and subsequent releases) as
well as using input matrices in external sort (only usage possible in pre-
MSC.Nastran 2005 r2 releases). It can be seen that the DMAP for the former case is
much simpler and more efficient than for the latter case.
It should be pointed out here that, if the internal and external sorts are different, the
DMIG output resulting from the two scenarios shown below will “appear” to be
different. This is because the matrix elements will be output in different order, but
their values will be the same. The DMIG output from the two scenarios will yield
identical matrices if they are used in turn by the MTRXIN module to re-generate the
matrices.
DMAP uses input matrices in internal sort (MSC.Nastran 2005 r2 and subsequent
releases).

add the corresponding decimal equivalent numbers from the table below.
For example, sets R, O, and MP, UBIT=8+4+1=13. For supersets, add the
decimal equivalent numbers of the mutually exclusive sets which are
contained in the superset. For example, set S combines the SB and SG set
and therefore UBIT=1024+512=1536. The presence of any grid point degree
of freedom in the associated sets causes all degrees of freedom associated
with that grid point to be given a value of 1.0 in the output vector.

SETFLG Input-integer-default=0. If SETFLG ≠ 0, then SETFLG selects a set of
grid point identification numbers of which all degrees of freedom
associated with each point will be assigned a value of 1.0 in the
corresponding row of CP. If no SET command is found, then the UBIT
parameter is used.
• If SETFLG>0 then the PARTN=SID Case Control command selects
the SET command.
• If SETFLG<0 then absolute value of SETFLG selects the SET
command.
NOCP Output-integer. NOCP will be set to -1 if the partitioning vector is null
or cannot be generated. Otherwise, it will be set to zero.
SETSTRi Input-character-default=' '. Set name string. SETSTR1 through
SETSTR4 form a single string of set name(s) and is 32 characters in
length. The set names must be separated by a plus sign, "+". For
example, SETSTR1='M+R+N+SG' and SETSTR2='+A+Q' specifies the
m, r, n, sg, a, and q sets.
Remarks:
1. None of the data blocks may be purged.

The MATMOD call would look like:

For NKEYS=1, it is equally likely that the indices for equal values may be in a different

since there are duplicate terms (0.0's) in the input matrix column and a single key sort
was used.
The Boolean square matrix contains unit values in the appropriate positions so that it
can be used to create the sorted input matrix by means of a simple matrix multiply as
in:
MPYAD BOOL,IM,/IMS/1 $
producing the sorted IM matrix, IMS, as

IMS =

Remarks:
1. If the matrix input into this option contains more than one column and
SORTBOOL is used subsequently to operate on this matrix, all columns will
have their rows re-ordered according to the sort obtained from the column
processed by the MATMOD operation. In this case, the column that was
selected during the MATMOD operation to produce the sorted ordering will
be guaranteed in sort. Other columns may or may not have their rows in
sorted order.
2. The output data blocks are in machine precision, regardless of the precision
of the input matrix.
3. NKEYS=2 provides a more repeatable sort in the presence of equal values in
the input, at the cost of longer run times. A test on a typical vector showed
a difference of a factor of approximately ten. If repeatability is not essential,
NKEYS=1 is the preferred choice.

4. If Ni is specified, then Ni must be different for each corresponding input
matrix. Also, the maximum number of records that may be punched is 99999.
If full square matrices are considered, a maximum order of 629 is allowed. If
matrices larger than this are desired, use the OUTPUT2 or OUTPUT4
modules to produce a FORTRAN readable file.
5. Only sufficiently small nonpurged data blocks will be punched onto DMI
Bulk Data entries.

Matrix merge
MERGE Matrix merge
Forms a matrix from its partitions.
Format:
MERGE A11,A21,A12,A22,CP,RP/A/SYM/TYPE/FORM $
Input Data Blocks:
Aij Matrix partitions. (Real or complex).
CP Column partitioning vector.
RP Row partitioning vector.
Output Data Block:
A Merged matrix from Aij.
Parameters:
SYM Input-integer-default=-1. SYM < 0, {CP} is used for {RP}. SYM ≥ 0 ,
{CP} and {RP} are distinct.
TYPE Input-integer-default=0. Type of [A]. If TYPE is 0, the type of the
output matrix will be the maximum type of [A11], [A21], [A12], and
[A22].
FORM Input-integer-default=0. Form of [A]. (See Remark 3.)
Remarks:
1. MERGE is the inverse of PARTN in the sense that if [A11], [A12], [A21], [A22]
were produced by PARTN using {RP}, {CP}, FORM, SYM and TYPE from
[A], MERGE will produce [A]. The operation of MERGE is dependent upon
the partitioning vectors, {CP} and {RP}, and the symmetry flag, SYM.

4. Any or all of [A11], [A12], [A21], [A22] may be purged. When all are purged,
this implies [A] = 0.
5. Both { RP } and { CP } may not be purged.
Examples:
1. Let A11, A12, A21, A22, {CP} and {RP} be defined as follows:
[ A11 ] = 2.0 [ A12 ] = 1.0 3.0 4.0

and the input matrices are:
[ A11 ] = 1 2 [ A12 ] = 3

MODTRL 1437
Modify trailer
MODTRL Modify trailer
Modify data block trailer data.
Format:
MODTRL DB//P1/P2/P3/P4/P5/P6 $
Input Data Block:
DB Data block with trailer that is to be modified.
Parameters:
Pi Input-integer-default=-1. New value for i-th trailer word. See Remark
4.
Remarks:
1. Negative parameters are ignored. Nonnegative parameters cause the
corresponding word of the data block trailer to be replaced by the value of
the parameter.
2. MODTRL should be scheduled immediately after the functional module that
generates the data block. For example:
ADD I1,I2/O1 $
MODTRL O1////6 $
EQUIVX Ol/O2/ALWAYS $
3. If MODTRL is used to increase the number of columns in a matrix, then the
resulting matrix is unusable in most modules, including MATPRN and
ADD.
4. The correspondence between the parameters and the content of a matrix
trailer is as follows:
Parameter Matrix Trailer
P1 Number of columns
P2 Number of rows
P3 Form
P5 Number of nonzero words
For matrices, P4 and P6 must be -1 or unspecified. See Examples 2 and 3.
Main Index
1438 MODTRL

5. For table trailer contents, see “Data Blocks” in Chapter 2.
Examples:
1. To make KAA symmetric (form=6) (MPYAD will label it square (form=1)):
MPYAD GO,KOA,KAAB/KAA/1 $
MODTRL KAA////6/ $
2. In order to change the precision of a matrix, use ADD5. If the new precision
does not match the machine precision specify PUTSYS (newprecision,55)
before ADD5. For example, on a double-word machine:
• Single to double
ADD5 SINGLE,,,,/DOUBLE $
• Double to single
PUTSYS(1,55) $
ADD5 DOUBLE,,,,/SINGLE $
PUTSYS(2,55) $
3. In order to change the type (complex or real) of a matrix, use ADD to convert
real to complex and MATMOD(34) for complex to real. For example,
• Real to complex
ADD REAL,/CMPLX//(0.,1.) $
• Complex to real
MATMOD CMPLX,,,,,/REAL,/34 $

7. The MPYAD keyword (or SYSTEM(66)) and the SPARSE keyword (or
SYSTEM(126)) on the NASTRAN statement is used for MPYAD method
deselection. (The SPARSE keyword is described in Remark 11.) The
Deselection Values in the table below are used to deselect or disable a single
method or several methods. If MPYAD=0 and SPARSE=1, which are the
defaults, then the method that results in the lowest CPU and I/O time will
be selected. If all transpose methods are deselected, then T must be equal to
zero (default). If all nontranspose methods are deselected, then T must be
equal to 1.

Matrix multiply and add
• For methods 2, 3, and 4, a combination of methods is selected by subtracting
the sum of their Deselection Values from 255. For example, NASTRAN
MPYAD = 243 (which is obtained from 255-(4+8)) selects only Methods 2
Transpose and Nontranspose.
• For Method 1 Submethods (storage techniques), a combination of methods is
selected accordingly. First sum their Deselection Values and then add 1, if
Nontranspose, and/or 2, if Transpose. This total is then subtracted from
262143. See examples below.
Example 1: If only Method l Nontranspose with storage techniques D,
E, and F are desired, then NASTRAN MPYAD=247806
(which is obtained from 262143-(2048 + 4096 + 8192 + 1)).
Example 2: If Method 2 is also desired in Example 1, then NASTRAN
MPYAD=247794 (which is obtained from 262143-(2048 +
4096 + 8192 + 8 + 4 + 1)).
8. As an alternative to the deselection procedure described above, the MPYAD
keyword value may be set to select a single method while deselecting all
other methods and submethods. To select a single method, add 1048576 to
the selection value of the desired method shown in the table below. For
example, if Method 1 Nontranspose Storage Submethod C is desired, then
MPYAD = 1048586; computed from 1048576 + 10.

If a Storage Submethod under Method 1 is selected in this manner, then a
printout of timing estimates for the other submethods may be requested by
adding 3145728 to the selection value above. Using the previous example,
MPYAD = 3145738, computed from 3145728 + 10.
9. Sparse methods are deselected or selected by the SPARSE keyword (or
SYSTEM(126)) on the NASTRAN statement. The default SPARSE = 1 causes
the automatic selection of sparse methods if their CPU and I/O estimates are
lower than those estimated for the methods in Remark 7. If the sparse
method is not desired, then specify SPARSE = 0 or 6.
• In order to select or force one or both methods below, then add l to its
value(s) below.
Sparse SPARSE Keyword
Method Value
Nontranspose 2
Transpose 4
Example 1: To force the sparse nontranspose method, then
specify SPARSE = 3, computed from 1 + 2.
Example 2: To force the sparse methods, then specify SPARSE
= 7, computed from 1 + 2 + 4.
Note that if SPARSE = 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7, then all methods in Remark 2 are turned
off or deselected, and the MPYAD keyword must be equal to zero.

• The SPARSE keyword is also used for sparse method selection within all
modules which perform matrix decomposition and forward-backward
substitution; e.g., DCMP, DECOMP, FBS, and SOLVE.
10. The diagonal matrix format (FORM = 3) for input matrices is not supported
for the transpose option (T = 1), and will cause an “ILLEGAL INPUT” fatal
message. [A] can be transposed with the TRNSP module.
11. Parallel processing in this module (Methods 1 Nontranspose Storage E and
Transpose Storage C only) is selected with the NASTRAN statement
keyword PARALLEL (or SYSTEM(107)) which is set to the number of
parallel processors (default = 0). To force parallel processing, the MPYAD
keyword must be set to one of the following values:

1500 NLTRD2
Computes transient nonlinear analysis solution matrices and tables
Remarks:
1. NLTRD2 utilizes an automatic method of time integration to compute
solutions to nonlinear transient problems (METHOD="ADAPT" on the
TSTEPNL Bulk Data entry). NLTRD2 performs the time increment and the
vector iteration steps until convergence has been attained. NLTRD2 uses line
search and quasi-Newton vector techniques when appropriate.
2. NLTRD2 supports only METHOD="ADAPT". NLTRD supports only
METHOD="AUTO" and "TSTEP" on the TSTEPNL Bulk Data entry.
3. ULNT contains only displacement and velocity vectors at converged time
steps during the direct integration. However, upon completion of the
subcase it also contains acceleration for the output time steps. For thermal
analysis, the displacements, velocity and accelerations are temperature,
enthalpy, and the enthalpy time derivative.

1. A data block (table or matrix) consists of logical records:
• In matrices, each column is contained in one logical record. Each record
begins with the row position of the first nonzero term in the column followed
by the first through the last nonzero term in the column.
• In tables, the contents of logical records vary according to the table but are
described in “Data Blocks” in Chapter 2.
2. The FORTRAN binary file consists of physical records of data from the data
block and KEYs that are provided to assist in the reading of the file. Each
physical record of data is separated by one-word records called KEYs. The
KEYs will indicate one of the following depending on its location in the
binary file:
KEY Description
>0 The length of the next physical record. It may also indicate the
start of a new logical record.
0 End-of-File (data block) (EOF) or End-of-Data (EOD).
<0 End-of-Logical record (EOR) or a null column. The absolute
value indicates the logical record number.
3. The End-of-Data (EOD) follows the last end-of-file (data block) written to the
binary file.
4. If possible, each logical record of the data block will be written to one
physical record of the FORTRAN binary file. However, the length of a logical
record may exceed the maximum length of a physical record (see MAXR
parameter). If this occurs, then the logical record will span more than one
Main Index
OUTPUT2 1517
Output a table or matrix into a FORTRAN readable file
physical record. In other words, the logical record will be written to the first
physical record followed by a positive KEY record, which indicates a
continuation of the logical record and the length of the subsequent second
physical record.
5. The OUTPUT4 module performs similar operations on matrices, but not
tables. It is simpler to use and is the recommended method for matrix output.
6. Tables and matrices may be processed as sequential data blocks.
7. The “ASSIGN” on page 43 of the MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide FMS
statement is recommended for assigning the FORTRAN unit. Selection of a
proper value for IUNIT is machine dependent. Refer to the “Making File
Assignments” on page 110 of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations
Guide.
8. No physical record will exceed the value specified by the parameter MAXR
which has a default that is two times BUFFSIZE words. Furthermore, the
value specified for MAXR should not exceed the maximum allowable record
size for the receiving disk device. See the “Keywords” on page 288 of the MD
Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations Guide for the maximum allowable
values.
9. When the neutral format option is selected via FORM=FORMATTED on the
ASSIGN FMS statement (associated with OUTPUT2 parameter IUNIT), then
MAXR and NDDLNAMi are interpreted as follows:
MAXR Represents the maximum physical record size (in words)
on the target machine(s) for the machine binary-formatted
file after it has been converted from neutral to binary via
the MSC-supplied conversion utility RCOUT2.
NDDLNAMi Correlates the DMAP data block name with the
corresponding NDDL-defined name. If this parameter is
left blank, then the corresponding DMAP name (DB1
through DB5) is assumed to be the NDDL-defined name.
The following is a partial list of the table data block names available for
OUTPUT2 neutral file formatting. For a more complete list see the NDDL.

In addition, all matrices defined with a TYPE DB, may also be neutral
formatted. If a matrix is not an NDDL data block, then the
NDDLNAMi='MATRIX' should be used. For example, to write the matrix
MYMATRIX use
OUTPUT2 MYMATRIX,,,,//ITAPE/IUNIT/LABL/MAXR/'MATRIX' $
Note and the neutral format is a machine-neutral format that allows the
transfer of the OUTPUT2-generated files between different machine types.
See “RCOUT2” on page 240 of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and
Operations Guide for a discussion of this transfer process and the MSC-
supplied conversion utility RCOUT2.

11. OUTPUT2 files may be read using three utility subroutines provided in the
utility ("util") directory; see “Building and Using TABTST” on page 273 of
the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations Guide.
IOPEN Once per FORTRAN unit.
IHEADR Once per data block.
IREAD As many times as desired.
Main Index
OUTPUT2 1525
Output a table or matrix into a FORTRAN readable file
These routines in a file called tabtst.f (or.for). These routines are coded in
machine-independent FORTRAN.
Major benefits that result in using this standard interface are:
• Easier initial usage of OUTPUT2. Most users make several errors while
becoming familiar with the formats.
• User code is not burdened/concerned with physical record boundaries.
• Data can be processed in logical groups rather than in a "blast" read mode.
Major limitations include:
• Matrices cannot be processed in this manner.
• Multiple FORTRAN units cannot be simultaneously processed.
• BACKSPACE operations are not permitted.
Following are descriptions and use of the three OUTPUT2 service routines.
Entry
Description
Point
IOPEN Initializes an OUTPUT2 file and read the label (MD Nastran).
Format:
CALL IOPEN(IUN,L)
where IUN = An input integer which specifies the unit number to be
read.
L = An output two-word array (2A4) containing the label written on
the unit (L comes from the third parameter in the DMAP call).
Method:
IOPEN rewinds IUN and reads in the data, title, and label. The keys are
checked. A key check failure results in the message IOPEN BAD KEYX
= XXXX.
Main Index
1526 OUTPUT2
Output a table or matrix into a FORTRAN readable file
Entry
Description
Point
IHEADR Processes the data block name and trailer.
Format:
CALL IHEADR(IUN,NAM,T)
where IUN = As described in IOPEN.
NAM = An output two-word array (2A4) containing the data block
trailer in words two through seven. Word one contains the location in
the DMAP call (101,102, etc.)
Method:
IHEADR reads the name and trailer. It checks KEY lengths. It also
skips the data block header (which unfortunately may contain data for
some/few data blocks). IHEADR must be called for each data block
either immediately after IOPEN or after IREAD signifies an end-of-file.
12. Starting with MSC.Nastran 2004 the OUTPUT2 file transport format has
been enhanced to better delineate the content to allow external applications
to identify version and stride values for IFP class datablocks. The new MD
Nastran keyword for either the NASTRAN statement or RC file inclusion is
OP2NEW and is linked to system cell 403. This is an integer value with a
default of one (1), indicating that the new transport format is used. A value
of zero (0) removes all version information and IFP locate word changes
from the transport file. Modification for version occurs both in the Label
Record and within the Data Block Name record. For more details, see
“Modifications to OUTPUT2 (INPUTT2) Transport Formats” on page 570
of the MSC.Nastran 2004 Release Guide and this guide.
Main Index
OUTPUT2 1527
Output a table or matrix into a FORTRAN readable file
Entry
Description
Point
IREAD Supplies data to the calling program in a logical (as opposed to a
physical) manner.
Format:
CALL IREAD(IUN,ARRY,NARY,IMETH,NT,IRTN)
where IUN is as described in IOPEN.
ARRY is the array into which a record is transmitted.
NARY is an integer input that requests the number of words to be
transmitted. If NARY is zero, no words will be transmitted. If NARY is
negative, the words will be skipped but not transmitted. If (NARY is
greater than the number of words remaining, the remaining words are
processed (skipped or transmitted) and NT is set to this number and
IRTN is set to 1.
IMETH is an integer input that specifies how to proceed through the
logical record. If IMETH = 0, the current logical record is continuously
processed until an end-of-record return (IRTN =1) is given. If IMETH
= 1, the remaining data (if any) at the conclusion of IREAD, in the
current logical record, is skipped.
NT is an integer output value which contains the number of words
transmitted or skipped if IRTN is 1 on return from IREAD.
IRTN is an integer output value which indicates the status on return
from IREAD.
IRTN = 0 Normal return.
IRTN = 1 End of logical record hit while trying to process NARY
words.
IRTN = 2 End-of-file hit for this data block.
Method:
OUTPUT2 physical records are read into a buffer area. These records
are, at most, 2 * BUFFSIZE words long. The current position is
maintained and data is transmitted (or skipped) from the buffer to the
ARRY array. If the MD Nastran logical record spans several physical
FORTRAN records these are transparent (no end-of-record returns) to
the user.

1528 OUTPUT4
Output matrices onto a FORTRAN readable file
OUTPUT4 Output matrices onto a FORTRAN readable file
Write matrices in ASCII or binary format onto a FORTRAN readable file.
Format:
OUTPUT4 M1,M2,M3,M4,M5//ITAPE/IUNIT/UNUSED3/BIGMAT/DIGITS $
Input Data Blocks:
Mi Matrices. Mi cannot be a factor matrix (forms 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, and 15).
Parameters:
ITAPE Input-integer-default = -1. ITAPE controls the status of the unit before
OUTPUT4 starts to write any matrices as follows:
ITAPE ACTION
0 None.
-1 Rewind IUNIT before Write.
-2 End File and Rewind IUNIT after Write.
-3 Both.
IUNIT Input-integer-no default. The absolute value of IUNIT is the FORTRAN
unit number on which the matrices will be written. If IUNIT is
negative, the sparse output option will be used, which means only
nonzero items in the matrix are written to the unit. IUNIT = 0 is not
recommended. See Remark 1.
UNUSED3 Input-integer-default=1. Unused.
Main Index
OUTPUT4 1529
Output matrices onto a FORTRAN readable file
BIGMAT Input-logical-default=FALSE. BIGMAT is applicable only when IUNIT
< 0. BIGMAT=FALSE selects the format that uses a string header as
described under Remark 1. But, if the matrix has more than 65535 rows,
then BIGMAT will automatically be set to TRUE regardless of the value
specified.
DIGITS Input-integer-default = 9. DIGITS is the requested number of digits for
the fractional part of the real values written for the ASCII format option
(FORMATTED on the ASSIGN FMS statement). The FORTRAN
Format Specification used internally by OUTPUT4 to write real values
will be formed as follows:
FORTRAN Format Specification: P,rEw.d
d = DIGITS
w=d+7
r = 80/w (integer portion)
For example, if
DIGITS = 9 then the format will be 1P,5E16.9
or if DIGITS = 16 then the format will be 1P,3E23.16
Remarks:
1. Each matrix will be written on IUNIT as follows:
• Record 1:

4. The ASSIGN FMS statement is recommended for assigning the FORTRAN
unit (see the MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide). Selection of a proper
value for IUNlT is machine dependent. See “Making File Assignments” on
page 110 of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and Operations Guide.
5. If the nonsparse format (IUNIT > 0) is selected, zero terms will be explicitly
present after the first nonzero term in any column until the last nonzero
term.
6. Null columns will not be output.
7. An entire column must fit in memory.
8. The FORTRAN binary file option (FORM = UNFORMATTED on the
ASSIGN FMS statement) is the preferred method when the file is to be used
on the same computer. The ASCII format FORM = UNFORMATTED on the
ASSIGN FMS statement allows use of the file on another computer type.
9. The output format of these files can be read by the INPUTT4 module.
10. OUTPUT4 files may be read using a utility FORTRAN subroutine called
GETIDS, which is provided in the utility directory. (See “Building and
Using MATTST” on page 269 of the MD Nastran 2006 Installation and
Operations Guide.) GETIDS is in the file called mattst.f or mattst.for.
The program must be modified if the ASCII format is desired.
The program is designed to read matrices less than 65536 rows. (BIGMAT =
FALSE).
11. Sparse factor matrices (forms 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, and 15) cannot be processed by
OUTPUT4.

Input Data Block:
DB Any data block.
Parameter:
WRDNUM Input-integer. Word number of trailer.

2 Number of rows in matrix
3 Form of the matrix
Main Index
PARAML 1549
Sets parameters from a data block
WRDNUM Meaning of TVALUE
4 Type of matrix
5 Largest number of nonzero words among all columns
6 Density of the matrix multiplied by 10000
7 Size in blocks
8 Maximum string length over all strings
9 Number of strings
10 Average bandwidth
11 Maximum bandwidth
12 Number of null columns
2. If WRDNUM=6, the density of a matrix is returned as an integer value times
10000 in TVALUE and also as a real value in REAL. If the density is greater
than 99.999%, but not actually full, then TVALUE will be 10000, which is
misleading if one is checking for the “fullness” of a matrix. It is
recommended that either the REAL parameter be checked or the FULLMAT
parameter be checked under P1=’NULL’.
Examples:
1. Extract the second word of the trailer from the SILS table and save in
LUSETS:
PARAML SILS/'TRAILER'/2/S,N,LUSETS//S,N,NOSILS $

<0 The data blocks are deleted and marked empty.
<0 No action is taken.
Remark:
PURGEX is an executive operation module intended for restart purposes only. If at
execution time a data block has been previously output from a module, then any
existing data will be deleted and the data block will be marked as empty. If the data
block has not been previously output from a module, it will simply be marked as
empty. A purged data block is equivalent to a data block not generated with the
exception that the NES "remembers" for restart purposes that it has been previously
output. If no restart is involved, purge is entirely equivalent to a data block not
generated.

Flag data block MGGX as empty so as to avoid execution of EMA module on restart.

Remark 4.
Remarks:
1. The PVT module is primarily used to resolve parameter values specified in
the Case Control and Bulk Data Sections. These parameters must have Y
authorization.
2. Either one or both input data blocks may be purged. If the input data block
is purged, the user input parameter settings will not contain parameters
from the input. If both input data blocks are purged, and LOADFLT is
FALSE, then no values are entered.
3. The output data block may be purged. The PVT module will always
internally update the user input parameters. The output data block is
primarily used for restart purposes.
• First, the default parameters are added if requested.
• Second, the PVT user input parameters from the Bulk Data Section are set.

Method:
Overview
The Random Analysis Module calculates power spectral density functions,
autocorrelation functions and mean deviations for selected displacements, loads,
forces of single-point constraint, and element forces and stresses.
Module Initialization
1. The XYCDB must be present or RANDOM returns.
2. A set of RANDPS Bulk Data entries from PSDL must be selected in CASECC
or RANDOM returns.
3. The frequency list is extracted from the first non-empty data file.
4. The RANDPS Bulk Data entry defines the function
S ab ( f ) = ( x + iy )F K ( f ) Eq. 4-22
where:
a = subcase ID of the excited load set.
b = subcase ID of the applied load set ( a ≤ b ) .
x, y = complex number such that if a = b , then y must be 0.0.
K = table identification number of a TABRND1 Bulk Data
entry that defines F ( f ) , a power spectral density as a
tabular function of frequency.
The power spectral density for gust turbulence can also be supplied on a
TABRNDG entry.

where W 2g , L , U , p , and k are user-supplied data and W = 2πf .
If a ≠ b on any RANDPS entry, the equations are called coupled; otherwise,
they are called uncoupled.
The following eight steps are accomplished:
a. The XYCDB is read for a list of requested points.
b. Compute S aa ( f ) at each load change.
c. Read in the data from the SORT2 data block and compute

S ja ( f ) = U j ( f ) S aa ( f ) Eq. 4-24
where U j ( f ) is the response of the j-th point at frequency f .
d. These are summed over all loads to form the power spectral density
function
S ja ( f ) = ∑ S ja ( f ) Eq. 4-25
a
where a runs over all subcase identification numbers on the RANDPS
entries.
e. When all subcases for the points have been processed, the mean response
qj is calculated for each point j :
N–1
1 1 ⁄ 2
q j = --- ∑ [ ( S j ( f i ) + S j ( f i + 1 ) ) ] ( f i + 1 – f i ) Eq. 4-26
2
i = 1
where N = number of frequencies.
The mean response is output with both the PSDF and the autocorrelation
function.
The zero crossing N 0 is also computed and output with the mean
response q j . N 0 is defined by
∞ ∞
2
N0 = ∫w S J ( w ) dw ⁄ ∫ ( w ) dw Eq. 4-27
0 0
The number of zero crossings with positive slope per unit time is a
weighted average frequence equal to the square root of the ratio of the
integral of the PSD times frequency squared to the integral of the PSD.
The integral in the denominator is already calculted and is related to the
"mean square response"

Note that if α and β are 1.0, the sum for r j would become the formula
for q j . Then N 0 = r j ⁄ q j is the quantity to be output.
f. If PSDF for point j is requested, one identification number and data
record are written on the PSDF data block.
g. If an autocorrelation function is requested for point j , the S j ( f ) are
transformed to the time domain to give the autocorrelation function:

r ( τm ) = qj Eq. 4-32
The Coupled Case
The following six steps are accomplished:
1. A list of unique subcase identification numbers are extracted from the
RANDPS entries.
2. The XYCDB is read for a list of requested points.
3. For each RANDPS entry S 1j ( f ) is looked up for all f , For each point S 1j ( f ) is
computed:
1
S j ( f ) = H ja ( f )S ab ( f )H jb ( f ) Eq. 4-33
where H ja ( f ) denotes the value of point j for subcase a .
The bar over the third factor in Eq. 4-33 denotes the complex conjugate.
These S 1j ( f ) are summed over all entries to form S j ( f ) :
Sj ( f ) = ∑ ∑ H ja ( f )H jb ( f ) Eq. 4-34
a b
Note that S ba = S ab , the complex conjugate.
4. The mean response and autocorrelation functions are computed as in Eq. 4-
30, Eq. 4-31, and Eq. 4-32.
Remarks:
1. RANDOM calculates power spectral density functions, autocorrelation
functions and mean deviations for selected displacements, loads, forces of
single-point constraints, and element forces and stresses.
2. DIT cannot be purged if PSDL references TABLEDi records in DIT.

2. In the READ module, the most memory-intensive part of the calculations is
involved with symbolic decomposition of the mass or shifted stiffness
matrix. Two methods of internal resequencing are available. When the
USET, SIL, EQEXIN, and PARTVEC data blocks and SETNAME parameter
are available, the resequencing is done in a grid point basis. These data
blocks allow correlation of row numbers in the a-set with grid point
numbers. When any of these data blocks are missing the resequencing is
done on a degree-of-freedom basis, potentially 6 times larger in size and
requiring the square of this quantity for memory. The grid point option
requires less memory and is appreciably faster than the degree-of-freedom
option.
3. In all eigensolution methods READ will calculate rigid body modes
accurately without the presence of SUPORTi entries in the Bulk Data Section.
The SUPORTi entries define the r-set, the reference set for rigid body modes.
If all of the input blocks associated with the r-set are input properly, the static
shapes input in the DAR data block are used to compute rigid body modes.
If the calculated frequencies associated with these modes are small numbers,
they are reset to binary zero.

• Modern r-set introduced in Version 70.5:
DXR has the same number of rows as KXX and both are partitioned from
DAR and KAA using PARTVEC. DAR is the motion of the a-set variables
due to unit motion of each r-set point, successively, as calculated by static
analysis and ignoring mass effects. Linear combinations of these shapes are
used for rigid body mode shapes that are orthogonal with respect to the mass
matrix.

• Obsolete r-set processing as in Version 70:
DMX and VACOMP are used for special r-set processing based on the r-set
rows being added to DMX in the READ module. DMX is partitioned from
DM in the way KXX is partitioned from KAA. In other words, the same
degrees-of-freedom are partitioned for both KXX and DMX. The modern
method uses DAR instead, with the r-set rows included in DAR.

4. For the Lanczos and INV methods KAA may be indefinite and MAA must
be at least positive semidefinite. For the unmodified tridiagonal methods (for
example, HOU) KAA may be indefinite, but MAA must be non-singular. For
the modified and auto tridiagonal methods (for example, MHOU and
AHOU) MAA may be singular when [KAA + lambda*MAA] is non-singular.
Lambda is an internally calculated shift. The matrix sum will be singular or
approach singularity only when the system contains massless mechanisms.
A shaft model made with bar elements using point masses is an example of
a system with a massless mechanism. The torsion DOFs are not constrained
to ground, and the point masses provide no rotary inertia. See the MODERS

methods more efficient, and removes some (but not all) possible causes of
singularity in the mass matrix.
5. For the Lanczos and Sturm Inverse methods, LAMA and PHA may also be
input if the APPEND mode is being used.
6. LAMA and OElGS are suitable for OFP output.
7. MI may not be purged.
8. Parallel processing in this module (Householder method only) is selected
with the NASTRAN statement keyword PARALLEL (or SYSTEM(107)), see
the MD Nastran Quick Reference Guide, Section 1.
9. If an r-set is present and special processing of rigid body modes is desired
then it is recommended that DAR have the same number of rows as KAA. If
not, then either MR, USET, or VACOMP should be specified.
10. For more detailed information on parameters F1 through NORM, please
refer to the descriptions of the EIGR and EIGRL Bulk Data entries in the MD
Nastran Quick Reference Guide.
11. For the Lanczos method:
• By default, the Lanczos method uses sparse matrix methods. To use regular
matrix methods specify SPARSE = 1 on the NASTRAN statement or specify
PUTSYS (126,1) just prior to the READ module.
• In vibration analysis MAA must be positive semidefinite. In buckling
analysis, KAA must be positive semidefinite. For either type of analysis, the
other input matrix may be indefinite.
• Performance-enhancing options may be requested on system cells 193
through198. Use the NASTRAN statement or the PUTSYS DMAP statement.
See the MSC.Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide.
• The Lanczos method was updated in Version 70.5 with several
enhancements related to shift logic. However, if the Lanczos method in
Version 70 is desired then specify NASTRAN SYSTEM(273)=1 in the File
Management Section or PUTSYS(1,273) in the DMAP before the READ
module.
• For maximum efficiency in the Lanczos method, it is recommended that
USET, SIL, and EQEXIN data blocks and SETNAME parameter are specified.
If the size of KAA is not the same as the size of the set indicated by
SETNAME, then PARTVEC should also be specified.

READ 1601
Extracts real symmetric system eigenvalues
12. If SID=-2, then NE is used to modify the ND parameter. ND is modified
accordingly:
ND*(1+NE/100)
13. For the Lanczos (METH='LAN') and Householder (METH='HOU', 'MHOU',
and 'AHOU') methods, if the problem can fit into memory then a "QL"
Householder eigensolution will be performed. If the problem cannot fit in
memory then the old method is used because the "QL" method does not have
spill capability.
The criterion for switching from the requested method to the "QL" method
is controlled system cell 359 and the NE parameter. The default value for
system cell 359 is 1 which means:
• if METH='LAN' is requested, the program wil automatically switch to
AHOU when the size of the problem less than or equal to NE.
• if METH='HOU', 'MHOU', and 'AHOU' then the program will automatically
switch to the "QL" solution if the problem will fit in memory.
Examples:
1. Suppose the user has a matrix [ A ] for which he or she wishes to extract
eigenvalues via the classical equation [ A – λI ] { u } = 0 . Presuming [ A ] is
input via DMI Bulk Data entries and there is an EIGR or EIGRL Bulk Data
entry that is selected in Case Control (METHOD), the following DMAP
sequence will be sufficient:
PARAML A//’TRAILER’/1/S,N,NCOLA $
MATGEN ,/IDEN/1/NCOLA $

OEIGS,/’MODES’/S,N,NEIGS/1 $
OFP LAMA,OEIGS//$
IF(NEIGS>-1) MATPRN VECTOR// $
2. Suppose that the user wishes to now calculate 5 modes of the equation
[[A] - lambda [I]]{phi} = 0 in a subDMAP where the DYNAMICS and
CASECC data blocks are not available:
$ GENERATE IDEN AS SHOWN IN THE PRIOR EXAMPLE

DLSTIN A list of data blocks and the associated pathnames. DLSTIN was built
as DLSTOUT during prior executions of the RESTART module.
DLSTIN is used to invoke the same restart dependencies, but with
different qualifiers, as done during previous RESTART comparisons.
Output Data Block:
DLSTOUT A list of data blocks and associated pathnames defined from DB1 that
were deleted during this execution of the RESTART module. If
DLSTOUT is designated as an APPEND file, then DLSTOUT contains
the list of data blocks deleted (or marked for deletion during this) from
prior executions of the module.
Parameters:
INVOKE Input-logical-default=FALSE. If INVOKE = TRUE then restart
deletions are performed. If INVOKE = FALSE (default) then no
deletions are performed, but data blocks are marked within DLSTOUT.
SPEXP Input-integer-default=6. Single-precision tolerance exponent. Two
single-precision numbers x and y are considered equal if
– SPEXP
x – y < 10

Data block comparison
PRTUNIT Input-integer-default=0. Fortran unit flag to print differences betwee
DB1 and DB2.
=0 Print to f04.

Remarks:
1. Any or all input data blocks may be purged.
2. If DLSTIN is not purged, the DB1 and DB2 must be purged.
3. If DBI and DB2 are not purged, the DLSTIN must be purged.
4. If INVOKE = TRUE then RESTART also deletes data blocks according to the
data dependencies (see “DEPEN” in Chapter 3). Only data blocks with the
current values of qualifiers for the path given by DBi are deleted. If the paths
of DBi and the path of the data block to be deleted differ, then all intersecting
qualifiers use the current value and the remaining nonintersecting qualifiers
use the wildcard (*) to determine deletion.
Example:
In this example, GEOM1 and GEOM2 are compared to the restart versions defined in
the DBVIEW statement. Changes are marked within the HIST file. Deletions are
performed after SEID is set.

Output Data Blocks:
None.
Parameters:
IROW Input/output-integer-default=1. Row number of element to be
extracted from [A]. See Remark 4.
ICOL Input/output-integer-default=1. Column number of element. See
Remark 4.
VALUED Output-complex double precision-default=(0.D0,0.D0). Contents of
element at IROW-th row and ICOL-th column in matrix [A].
Remarks:
1. If the input is purged, the module returns with a VALUE = (0.,0.).
2. See also PARAML A//’DMI’ option.
3. Prior to Version 2001, VALUED was a single precision parameter. To
convert an old DMAP that uses the pre-Version 2001format, see Example 2.
4. If IROW (or ICOL) is greater than the umber of rows (or columns) in A then
IROW or (ICOL) will reset to -1 and CDVALUE remains unchanged from its
value prior to calling SCALAR.
Examples:
1. Extract the matrix element in row 1 and column 2 of matrix A and assigns it
to the parameter VALUE.
SCALAR A//1/2/S,N,VALUE $
2. Convert a pre-Version 2001 SCALAR module call to the current version.

1682 SEP1
Constructs superelement map table
Remarks:
1. SEP1 is the initial superelement processor. It builds the superelement map
table which defines the relationships between grid points and
superelements. The map includes the superelement type (primary,
secondary, mirror image, etc.), the exterior grid points, the structural and
rigid elements, and for certain secondary superelements, sequencing
information.
2. SEP1 only supports superelements defined by the SESET Bulk Data entry,
CSUPER Bulk Data entry or on the SEID field on the GRID Bulk Data entry;
i.e., grid-list superelements. SEP1X is a more recently developed module
intended for superelements defined in separate Bulk Data Sections; i.e.,
partitioned superelements.

Constructs superelement map table
SEBULK Input-logical-default=FALSE. Partitioned superelement presence flag.
Set to TRUE if partitioned superelements are present or BEGIN SUPER
is specified for the first BEGIN BULK Case Control command. If TRUE
then superelement processing is to be performed. Otherwise, only the
RSSCON element corrections are performed.

3. The SEP1X module checks the residual part and bit 8 on the SEP1XOVR
parameter to determine a-set membership at the residual level. The default
action is to place all upstream q-set in the a-set in the residual when any
ASETi, BSETi, CSETi, QSETi or OMITi records are detected in the residual
based upon user specifications. Otherwise, SEP1X changes the SEP1XOVR
parameter to indicate to SEP2X not to generate ASET records for the q-set
boundary dofs and then let the left-over logic of GP4 assign to a-set or o-set.
Note that the user can set bit 8 to indicate that no ASET records will be
created. The current SEP2X rule for user set specifications is to copy the
supplied record from the main GEOM4 to the residual's GEOM4S.

Remarks:
1. In the geometry table option, SEQP generates SEQGP Bulk Data entries to be
appended to the in the GEOM1 data block and/or written to the punch file.
2. In the matrix option, GPL, USET, and SIL are required for SEQOUT>0 and
may be purged if SEQOUT=0.
3. SEQMETH=7 is recommended for sparse decomposition and sparse
forward-backward substitution only. The assembly of stiffness, mass, and
damping matrices by the EMA module may be less efficient under this
option. Also, if there is insufficient memory available to perform sparse
decomposition, then regular decomposition will be performed and regular
decomposition is inefficient under this option.
4. SEQMETH=5, 6, or 7, resequencing will be performed even if the CPU
estimate is higher than for no resequencing.
5. For SEQMETH=8, the estimates will be computed for two sequencing
methods that are suitable for the decomposition method selected by the
PARALLEL and SPARSE keywords on the NASTRAN statement and select
the sequencing method with the lowest estimate. The following table shows
the suitable methods for each decomposition method.

6. Description of SUPER:
• If PARAM,SUPER=0, all grid points from the connection table that are not
part of the group currently being processed are deleted. This option provides
for sequencing only the interior points of a superelement. If any
superelements are present, the residual structure is not resequenced. If all of
the grid points are in the residual structure, they are resequenced.
• If PARAM,SUPER=0 or 1, all grid points in the connection table are
considered. This option provides for the recognition of passive columns.
• If PARAM,SUPER=2, then all points that are connected to multipoint
constraints (via MPC entries) or rigid elements (e.g., the RBAR entry) are
placed in a special group at the end of the sequence. This option also forces
SEQMETH=6 and may not be selected with other values of SEQMETH. This
option is intended primarily for models that have many active columns due
to MPCs or rigid elements; e.g., a model with disjoint structures connected
only by MPCs or rigid elements. See “Matrix Decomposition” in Chapter 3
of the MSC.Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide for a further discussion of
sequencing operations.
7. FACTOR is used as follows:
SEQID = FACTOR * GRP + SEQ
where SEQ generated sequence number and GRP group sequence number.
If GRP=0, use GRP(MAX)+1 where GRP(MAX) is the largest group sequence
number previously processed.
8. START specifies the input sequence will be the sorted order of the grid point
numbers including the effect of any SEQGP entries input by the user. A
single SEQGP entry can be input to select the starting point for the new
sequence. Otherwise, the first point of lowest connectivity will be used as the
starting point
9. PSEQOPT has the following values and actions:
• PSEQOPT='APPEND'. The list of all p-element grids at the bottom after all
the regular grids. APPEND is intended for p-element analysis with p-version
preconditioning, i.e., SEQMETH = 5, 6 or 7.
• PSEQOPT='INSERT'. Insert the p-element grids in appropriate locations
immediately after the regular grid point to which they are associated which
is the default in p-element analysis. INSERT is intended for p-element
analysis without p-version preconditioning, i.e., SEQMETH = -1, 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Parameters:
NMAT Integer-input-no default. Number of matrices involved in the product;
i.e., [A][B][C][D][E].

untransposed. The last nonpurged matrix must be untransposed.
FORM Integer-input-default=0. Form of the X matrix. If FORM is zero, the
form of [X] will be 1 if the result is square, 2 otherwise. If [X] is known

Main Index
SMPYAD 1713

2. The matrices are postmultiplied together from right to left; i.e., the first
product calculated is the product of matrix n-1 and matrix n. This implies
that all purged inputs must be to the right. If the transpose flag is set for the
last unpurged matrix, it is ignored without warning.
3. If the input matrices are incommensurate (for example, if the number of
columns in A is not equal to the number of rows in B) or incompatible, then
the User Fatal Message 5423 “ATTEMPT TO MULTIPLY INCOMPATIBLE
MATRICES” is issued.
4. The method used by this module is the same as for the MPYAD module
except in case of a triple product, where [ B ] and [ F ] are symmetric and
T
[ A ] = [ C ] and TA = 1 ; i.e., [ X ] = [ A ] [ B ] [ A ] ± [ F ] ], then a method that is more
efficient than two equivalent MPYAD operations will be employed. See
Example 3. However, two equivalent MPYAD operations will be selected
automatically if two MPYADS are more efficient. (Two MPYADs can be
forced by setting system cell 129 to 1, with PUTSYS(1,129) specified just
before the SMPYAD module.)
5. If any of the matrices involved in the product do not exist, then the module
does not create any output.
Examples:
1. Compute [ X ] = [ A ] [ B ]T [ C ] – [ F ] .

3. For ITSOPT = 1 or 2, the input data blocks USET, KGG, and GM may be
purged. For ITSOPT = 3, USET must be specified. KGG and GM are
necessary only if IEXT = 2.
4. If the message “ *** USER FATAL MESSAGE 6288 (SITDRV): UNABLE TO
CONVERGE WITH ITERATIVE METHOD” is issued, then results will still
be printed but may be inaccurate.
5. The system cell SYSTEM (69) is equivalent to the SOLVE keyword and
controls some special options for the module:
SOLVE Action
2 Suppresses the user information message at each iteration.
8 Use alternative convergence criterion (less conservative
than default).
6. If data block PC1 is specified, the CPU time will increase slightly.
7. If SOLVIT is to be used for p-element analysis and ADPTINDX>1, then XS
and PC must be the solution matrix and pre-conditioner from the previous
adaptivity p-level. Also, the USET and SIL from the previous p-level are
specified for U and KGG and the USET and SIL from the current p-level are
specified for GM and SIL.
8. For frequency response analysis with ITSOPT=10 or 11 (block incomplete
Cholesky), IEXT=0 is not available and IEXT=1 is used automatically.

for { u oo } , the displacements of the omitted coordinates.
SSG3 also calculates the residual vector, δP o , and the residual vector error ratio, ε o , for
the omitted coordinates
{ δP o } = [ K oo ] { u oo } – { P o } Eq. 4-64
T
{ u oo } { δP o }
ε o = ---------------------------------- Eq. 4-65
T
{ P o } { u oo }
Except for round-off error, the error ratio ε o should be zero. Large values of these
error ratios usually indicate singularities in the stiffness matrix. The residual load
vector, RUOV, may be output by use of PARAM,IRES,1.
The quantity
T
1 ⁄ 2 { Po } { uo } Eq. 4-66
is calculated by the SSG3 module and printed under the heading “External Work.”
This component of strain energy includes effects of thermal loads, element
deformations, and enforced displacements that may be subtracted later in the solution
process. For example, an enforced displacement that causes zero strain will result in
external work.

TABEDIT 1745
Performs editing operations on table data blocks
TABEDIT Performs editing operations on table data blocks
Edits an existing table data block according to user-input directives. String-formatted
records are generally not acceptable. Three types of editing operations are possible:
1. Delete, add, or replace entire records. New records come from the IFP
module or from user input.
2. Delete, add, or replace word strings to a specified record. New data come
from user input.
3. Merge-edit two records of fixed-length word groups such as would be
generated by IFP.
Format:
TABEDIT TOLD,CONTROL,TA,TB,TC/TNEW/
MSGLVL/DUPWG/UNUSED3/UNUSED4 $
Input Data Blocks:
TOLD Table data block to be edited. May not be purged, and in general,
contain string-formatted records.
CONTROL Table data block containing directives that control the editing process
as described under Remarks (it will usually come from DTI input). If
CONTROL is purged, TNEW will be copied from TOLD.
TA,TB,TC Secondary tables to be merged into TOLD. May be purged.
Output Data Block:
TNEW Updated table data block from the edit process. May not be purged.
Parameters:
MSGLVL Input-integer-default=0. Print activity option.
<0 Print information messages and trace editing process.
=0 Print information messages only.

The degrees of freedom can be listed in ascending order according to
their internal or external sequence number, but not both. The external
sequence number is the grid, scalar, or extra point identification
number. The internal sequence number is the number assigned after
resequencing.
For a given sequence there are two types of tables that may be printed:
row sort and column sort. For row sort, a table is printed for each set
selected by USETSEL. Here is an example of row sort (USETPRT = 0
or 10):
U S E T D E F I N I T I O N T A B L E ( I N T E R N A L S E Q U E N C E , R O W S O R T )
A DISPLACEMENT SET
-1- -2- -3- -4- -5- -6- -7- -8- -9- -10-
1= 2-1 2-2
For column sort, a single table is printed for the following sets: SB, SG,
L, A, F, N, G, R, O, S, M, E. Here is an example of column sort
(USETPRT = 1 or 11):
U S E T D E F I N I T I O N T A B L E ( I N T E R N A L S E Q U E N C E , C O L U M N S O R T )

- 5 5- 3 5 5 5
- 6 6- 4 6 6 6
OPT2 Input-integer-default = 0. Specifies the sets that will be printed in the
row sort (OPT1 = 0 or 10). In order to select specific sets to be printed,
you must sum their corresponding decimal equivalent numbers. For
example, sets A, L, and R are selected with OPT2 = 128+256+8 = 392.
OPT2 Sets printed
-1 All sets in the following table.
0 Mutually exclusive sets only, as shown in the table below.
>0 Selected sets according to the sum of their decimal

for the superelement. The third part of each
superelement record (containing the lists of primary
superelement points to which a secondary
superelement is connected) is omitted.
4 Punch CSUPER entries according to OPT1 (see
Remarks).
5 Print only Records 1 (except for OPT1 < 0), 2 (see OPT1
for selection options within Record 2), and estimation
data for each superelement.
Remarks:
1. If OPT2 = 4, then CSUPER entries are written on the punch file according to
OPT1. Field 2 (SEID) is selected by OPT1. Field 3 will be 0. All other data
fields contain the sorted list of grid points for either the selected
superelement (OPT1 > 0) or the residual structure ( OPT1 ≤ 0 ). Continuation
mnemonics are generated in the form +xxxxyyy where xxxx is the
left-adjusted SEID and yyy is a right-adjusted record count. Two examples
are shown below.

2. If OPT2 = 0,3 or 5 and TIMSIZ is supplied, then TABPRT will produce an
estimation printout for each superelement except the residual structure. The
equations used along with the semiempirical constants are printed as well as
dominant CPU time estimates, space estimates, and wall clock estimates. The
user is cautioned that these estimates will be valid only for “large”
superelements and should be adjusted for anomalous characteristics.
Main Index
TABPRT 1757
Formatted table printer
Estimate totals are also provided at the end of the SEMAP printout. If
ESTDATA is also supplied, then the constants of the estimating equations
are adjusted. This technique is described on the Bulk Data entry
DTI,ESTDATA.
3. Under Format 1, the generic data block name is used, but the actual DMAP
name for the same or equivalent information is also acceptable. For example,
in the superelement solution sequence data blocks BGPDTS, CSTMS,
EQEXINS, and GPLS are created and may be printed with TABPRT. If
‘FINDIT’ (default) is specified, the KEY will be taken from the header of the
data block.
Examples:
1. Print coordinate system transformation matrix table.
TABPRT CSTM//’CSTM’ $
2. Print grid point list table.

Remarks:
1. Each input data block is treated as a table and its contents are printed on the
system output file via a prescribed format. Each word of the table is
identified by the module as to type (real, character, integer) and an
appropriate format is used (10 items per line).
2. The trailer data items for the table are also printed.
3. A warning message is issued if all TABi do not exist.
4. TABPT may be used to print matrices.
5. TABPT may occasionally misidentify real numbers or character values. The
TABPRT module with OPT3 ≠ 0 will properly identify real numbers and
character values.
6. The TABPRT module with OPT3 ≠ 0 will also print tables like TABPT with
labels above each item.

TYPE 1789
Declares NDDL data blocks, qualifiers, and parameters.
TYPE Declares NDDL data blocks, qualifiers, and parameters.
The TYPE DMAP statement performs three different functions, depending on its
format:
1. Identifies NDDL data blocks.
2. Specifies the type and authorization of NDDL parameters, qualifiers, and
location parameters.
3. Specifies the type and authorization of local parameters.
The TYPE statement is a nonexecutable statement, but must appear before any NDDL
data block, parameter, qualifier, or location parameter; or any local parameter that
relies on the TYPE statement to identify its type and authorization.
The TYPE statement has the following formats:
Formats:
1. Data blocks:
TYPE DB, dblist $
2. NDDL parameters, qualifiers and location parameters:
TYPE PARM, NDDL, ptype, N , prmlist $
Y
3. Local parameters:
TYPE PARM,,ptype, N , prmlist = [default] $
Y
Describers:
dblist A list of NDDL data blocks. Each data block must be separated by a
comma or a space.
ptype Parameter type. Possible parameter types are as follows:
Description ptype
integer I
real single precision RS
real double precision RD
complex single precision CS
complex double precision CD
Main Index
1790 TYPE
Declares NDDL data blocks, qualifiers, and parameters.
character CHARi, where i = 1-80
logical LOGICAL
N, Y Parameter authorization. Y allows user input of the parameter value
via the PARAM Bulk Data entry or Case Control command. N
disallows PARAM input. If neither N nor Y is specified, then
authorization or user override of the parameters contained in the
prmlist are determined at DMAP compilation time by the parameter’s
first appearance in a DMAP Module.
prmlist A list of parameters. Each parameter must be separated by a comma or
a space.
default In Format 3 only, parameters may be assigned a default value. This
value overrides the MPL default value if any. Character values must be
enclosed in single quotation marks.
NDDL Keyword that identifies parameters or qualifiers defined in the NDDL.
Remarks:
1. Within any subDMAP, parameters are typed at first occurrence in either a
TYPE statement or a DMAP module. Parameters occurring in Assignment(=)
statements must be defined in a previous DMAP module or TYPE statement.
2. A TYPE statement is required for a parameter if it appears first in one of the
following instructions:
CALL
MESSAGE
Assignment
Conditional (IF and DO WHILE)
DBVlEW module (WHERE clause if its not a qualifier)
3. Default values for NDDL parameters and qualifiers are specified on the
PARAM and QUAL NDDL statements and, if specified on the TYPE
statement, result in a warning message.
4. With the exception of parameters declared as QUALifiers through the QUAL
NDDL statement, all NDDL parameters are stored immediately in the
database on completion of a DMAP assignment statement or the module S
option.
5. As described under CALL DMAP statement, the (S,) option to save control
and QUALifier parameters is necessary to facilitate parallel and recursive
processing.
Main Index
TYPE 1791
Declares NDDL data blocks, qualifiers, and parameters.
6. Only the ptype is used on the TYPE PARM for parameters passed through a
subDMAP argument list. Also, default values are ignored.
7. It is recommended that all TYPE statements in a SUBDMAP appear
immediately after the SUBDMAP statement.
8. If NDDL data blocks passed through a SUBDMAP argument list are
referenced on a TYPE DB statement, then a fatal error will occur.
9. If data blocks not defined in the NDDL appear in a TYPE DB statement, then
a fatal error will occur.
10. If the parameter type and authorization specified on a TYPE statement do
not match those specified in a DMAP module, then a fatal error will occur.
11. If the parameter type specified on a TYPE statement does not match the type
required by a DMAP module, then a fatal error will occur.
12. Character parameters which appear on TYPE statements and also module
instructions must be defined with ptype CHAR8. For example:
TYPE PARM,,CHAR8,N,MAJOR,SETJ,COMP='COMP' $
MAJOR='G' $
SETJ='A' $
VEC USET/VGACOMP1/MAJOR/SETJ/COMP $
Use of other lengths, such as CHAR4, results in fatal termination.
Examples:
The following TYPE PARM statements show how parameters are typed in a
subDMAP. Note the use of comments.

Parameters:
NEIGV Output-integer-no default. The number of eigenvectors found. Set to -
1 if none were found.
SID Input-integer-default=0. Alternate set identification number.
If SID=0, the set identification number is obtained from the
UMETHOD command in CASECC and used to select the EIGUL Bulk
Data entry in DYNAMIC.
If SID>0, then UMETHOD command is ignored and the EIGUL entry
is selected by this parameter's value. All subsequent parameter values
(F1, F2, etc.) are ignored.
If SID<0, then both the UMETHOD command and all EIGUL entries
are ignored and the subsequent parameter values (F1, F2, etc.) will be
used to control the eigenvalue extraction.
F1 Input-real-default=0.0. The lower frequency/eigenvalue bound.
F2 Input-real-default=0.0. The upper frequency/eigenvalue bound. The
default value of 0.0 indicates machine infinity.
ND Input-integer-default=0. The number of desired eigenvalues.
EPS Input-real-default=0.0. Convergence criterion. By default EPS will be
set to N/10000 where N is the size of KXX, etc.
Remarks:
1. In certain MD Nastran applications the eigenvalue problem presented
contains real, unsymmetric matrices. One such application, the direct
structural acoustic problem is formulated as:
2
[ K aa + λ M aa ]φ = 0
where the stiffness and mass matrices are both real unsymmetric, containing
coupled blocks of structural and fluid matrices. Another case of
unsymmetric but real eigenvalue problem is given in the aeroelastic
divergence solution posed as:
[ K ll + λQ ll ]φ = 0
where K ll is the structural stiffness matrix, real, symmetric positive definite,
however, the Q ll divergence matrix is real, unsymmetric.
2. The left-handed solutions of the two problems presented before are:

VEC 1809
Creates partitioning vector based on USET
VEC Creates partitioning vector based on USET
To create a partitioning vector based on degree-of-freedom sets. The vector may be
used by the MERGE and PARTN modules.
Format:
VEC USET/CP/MAJOR/SET1/SET2/UNUSED4/SET3 $
Input Data Block:
USET USET table output from module GP4 or GPSP (or USETD table from
DPD for dynamics or AEUSET table from APD for aerodynamics).
Output Data Block:
CP Partitioning vector.
Parameters:
MAJOR Character-input-no default. Major degree-of-freedom set name. See
Remarks.
SETi Character-input-default='COMP'. Subset degree-of-freedom names.
See Remarks.
UNUSED4 Integer-input-default=0. Unused and may be unspecified.
SET3 Character-input-default=' '.
Remarks:
1. The supersets formed by the union of other sets have the following
definitions:

2. If MAJOR = 'BITID', then SET1 and SET2 are ignored and the set name
specified for SET3 corresponds to the zeros in CP and MAJOR corresponds
to G or P for USET and USETD, respectively. Those degrees-of-freedom not
in SET3 correspond to ones in CP.
3. If SET1 (or SET2, but not both) is set to 'COMP' (or left blank) then SET1 (or
SET2) is assumed to be the complement of SET2 (or SET1).
4. The set names MAJOR, SET1, and SET2, may specify a combination of set
names separated by a plus (+) or minus (-) character. The plus (+) character
indicates a union and the minus (-) character an exclusion. For example, 'a-
b+m' indicates the a-set without the b-set and then this resultant set is then
unioned with the m-set.
5. USET may not be purged.
Examples:
1. To partition [ K ff ] into a- and o-set based matrices, use
VEC USET/V/'F'/'O' $
PARTN KFF,V,/KOO,KAO,KOA,KAA $
Note that the same thing can be done in one step by

'REIGEN' Normal modes.
'FREQRESP' Frequency response.
'TRANRESP' Transient response.
'CEIGEN' Complex eigenvalues.
'VG' Aeroelastic V-g or V-f data.
'CONTACT' Slideline contact.
'RAND' or Process all random results excluding acoustic modal
‘RANDOM’ ‘RANDOM’ participation factor outputs from
MODEPOUT.
‘RANDSDVA Process only VDR module outputs which are requested
’ with the SDISP, SVELO , SACCEL Case Control
commands.
‘RANDOMS’ Process all random results except VDR outputs.
‘RANDMPF’ Process only MODEPOUT outputs.
'SET1' Abscissa points are specified on SET1Bulk Data entries
'RSPEC' Response spectra.
XYSET Input-character-default='SOL'. Degree-of-freedom set type.
'SOL' Solution set (d-set or h-set).
'DSET' d-set.
'HSET' h-set.
'PSET' p-set.
PLTNUM Input/output-integer-default=0. Plot frame counter.
UNUSED Unused.
NOXYPLOT Output-integer-default=1. Set to 1 if XYPLOT is created; -1 otherwise.
TABID Input/output-integer-default=0. TABLED1 punch flag. If IDTAB is
greater than zero, all requests for XYPUNCH will produce TABLED1
Bulk Data entries for the curve. The table identification number will
start at TABID and increase by one for each table punched.

DVAFLAG Input-integer-default=-1. Flag indicating velocities and accelerations
are contained in separate data blocks and any associated outputs follow
suit.
-1 Velocities and acceleratons are contained in OUG2
1 Velocities and acceleratons are contained in OVG2 and OAG2
Remarks:
1. OFPi2 may be element stresses, displacements, element forces, single-point
forces of constraint, applied loads, slideline contact stresses, nonlinear loads
in p-set,
h-set, or d-set.
2. OFPi2 may be specified in any order.
3. If APP='RAND' then PSDF and AUTO must be specified.
4. If APP='RSPEC' then OXRESP must be specified.
5. If APP='VG' then OVG must be specified.
