Optional parameters
- ALPHA
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the thermal expansion coefficient.
- INPUT
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the alternate input file containing
the data lines for this option. See
Input Syntax Rules
for the syntax of such file names. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed
that the data follow the keyword line.
- MODE
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
analyses.
This parameter is used only if the USER parameter is included.
Set MODE=DOF (default) for user subroutine
MPC to operate in a degree of freedom mode.
Set MODE=NODE for user subroutine
MPC to operate in a nodal mode.
- USER
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
analyses.
Include this parameter to indicate that the constraint is defined in user
subroutine
MPC.
Data lines to define
multi-point constraints
- First line
-
MPC type from
General Multi-Point Constraints
or, if the USER parameter is included, an integer key to be used in user
subroutine
MPC to distinguish between different constraint types.
-
Node numbers or node sets involved in the constraint.
The first 15 nodes or node
sets of an MPC must be entered on the first
line. If the MPC contains more than 15 nodes,
enter 0 on the next line to indicate that it is a continuation line and then
continue to enter the following nodes on this line. Any number of continuation
lines are allowed. Exactly 15 nodes or node sets must be given on each line
except the last
line.
