*GRCONT,NAME=ELECONT

Data format:

Four lines with the following parameters:

IGR IOP
IEL PARA
DLLFileName
DLLProcName

Restriction :

Group must be previously defined. For dynamic analysis.

Purpose :

To define external loads on a group of elements via a DLL

Details : | Parameter | Description | | --- | --- | |IGR | group number| |IOP | - IOP = 0: loads given in local frame (beam elements)
- IOP = 1: loads given in general frame| |IEL | Reference element| |PARA | Parameter to be used in the .DLL| |DLLFileName | DLL file name| |DLLProcName | DLL procedure name|

Note

Procedure in the DLL exchanges the following information with DeepLines at the beginning of each timestep : (vect, pos, isize, para, torref) where:

  • vect is a double precision real matrix of length (6,isize) . The procedure provides forces/moments to be applied on the 6 degrees of freedom at each pos(i).

  • pos is a double precision real vector of length isize. DeepLines provides the arc length (m)where the loads are applied

  • isize is an integer to defined the size of the arrays.

  • para : double precision real entered as a parameter

  • torref : Forces/moments in elements IEL (local frame)
