Description

Nodal locations

The nodal coordinates of the model for the last iteration of the optimization.

 

File Format

The file uses the following format for each grid in the model:

GRID         Id         Cp         X1          X2          X3          Cd           Ps

where:

GRID

identifies this as a GRID card image.

Id

is the unique grid point identification number.

Cp

is blank.

X1, X2, X3

provide the location of the grid point in the global coordinate system.

Cd

is the identification number of the coordinate system in which the displacements, degrees of freedom, constraints and solution vectors are defined at the grid point.

Ps

is the SPC associated with the grid.
