CMSID

CMSMETH identification number.

(Integer > 0)

METHOD

Component mode synthesis method to be employed. See comment 1.

Default = CB (CB or CC)

UB_FREQ

Upper bound frequency for the eigenvalue analysis. If 0.0 or blank, no upper bound is used. See comments 2 and 3.

Default = blank (Real > 0.0, or blank)

NMODES

Number of modes to be extracted from eigenvalue analysis. If set to -1 or blank, number of modes is limitless. See comments 2 and 3.

Default = blank (Integer > -1, or blank)

SPID

The starting SPOINT ID to be used in DMIG matrix output for the eigenmodes. See comment 4.

Default = 9000001 or the largest user input GRID (or SPOINT) ID, plus 1; whichever is greater.

Comments

  1. Two methods are available for Component Mode Synthesis:

a)    CB – Craig-Bampton

b)    CC – Craig-Chang

  1. UB_FREQ and NMODES cannot both be blank.

  2. When UB_FREQ = 0.0 and NMODES = 0, this is a special case where no eigenmodes will be included in CMS mode generation.

  3. If PARAM, EXTOUT, DMIGPCH (or DMGBIN) is defined when using the CB method, then a DMIG matrix corresponding to the reduced stiffness and mass matrices will be output. The stiffness and mass corresponding to the eigenmodes will be assigned to the generated SPOINTs.
