Availability (TAUCS)
As of version 2.1, we distribute the code in 4 formats: zip and tarred-gzipped (tgz), with or without
binaries for external libraries. The bundled external libraries should allow you to build the test
programs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS X without installing additional software. We recommend
that you download the full distributions, and then perhaps replace the bundled libraries by higher
performance ones (e.g., with a BLAS library that is specifically optimized for your machine). If you
want to conserve bandwidth and you want to install the required libraries yourself, download the
lean distributions. The zip and tgz files are identical, except that on Linux, Unix, and MacOS,
unpacking the tgz file ensures that the configure script is marked as executable (unpack with tar
zxvpf), otherwise you will have to change its permissions manually.

1.1 Introduction to DMAP

NX Nastran Direct Matrix Abstraction Program (DMAP) is a high-level language with its own compiler
and grammatical rules. This section provides a summary description of the NX 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 NX
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 (Siemens
PLM Software recommends mnemonic names) 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 NX Nastran execution completes, data blocks and parameters written to scratch files are
erased, and those written to the permanent physical file are available for future use. The NX Nastran
Data Definition Language (NDDL) 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)” .
NX Nastran provides a variety of prewritten solution sequences. These solution sequences consist of
a series of DMAP statements. You can use DMAP to modify these prewritten solution sequences or
to write your own solution sequences. 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 the NX Nastran Quick Reference Guide .
1.2 The NX 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.
1-2 DMAP Programmer's Guide

Direct Matrix Abstraction
• 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. Siemens PLM Software recommends following the convention of terminating 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 and is 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 decimal 27000. or 2.7E5 or
point, with an optional decimal fraction. 2.7D5
Complex A pair of real numbers representing the real and imaginary (1.1,2.3) or
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.
Type Number of words
Integer 1
Real single precision 1
Real double precision 2
Complex single precision 2
Complex double precision 4

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 231 − 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, = Strings of digits (0 through 9)

ee

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, an integer must follow, even
if the exponent is 0.
Only the leftmost 14 digits in nn.dd are used by NX Nastran. Leading zeros are ignored in counting
the leftmost 14 digits.
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 can 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 can 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.
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”).
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.
6. Default value from the first occurrence of either a non-NDDL TYPE DMAP statement or a module
with a MPL default value. Non-NDDL TYPE DMAP statements have a default value of zero,
blank, or FALSE for real or integer, character, or logical parameters.
7. Default value is zero, blank, or FALSE for real or integer, character, or logical parameters.
Determining the current value of a variable parameter is summarized in the following table.

NDDL default value TYPE statement default
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. Siemens
PLM Software does 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, type the
parameter near the top of the DMAP sequence, as shown below.
TYPE PARM,,type,Y,param_name $
• If the parameter's default value is defined on the NDDL PARAM statement and you want to use
the NDDL default value, type the parameter near the top of the DMAP sequence, as shown below.
TYPE PARM,NDDL,type,Y,param_name $
• If the desired default value differs from the MPL default, specify the parameter and the default
value on a TYPE statement, as shown below.
TYPE PARM,,type,Y,param_name=default_value $
• 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, Siemens PLM Software recommends the following sequence 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 $
Siemens PLM Software does not recommend the following:

IF( FLAG ) PARAMR //'COMPLEX'//BETA/GAMMA/S,Y,ALPHA $
.

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
• 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 Division X*Y+Z (X*Y)+Z
+,– 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’

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; for example, real, integer, complex, character, and so on. For matrices,
the data record corresponds to the nonzero values in the column of the matrix; for example, 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.
Table trailers
In tables, the trailer record contains six words. The contents vary among the tables and are described
in “Data Blocks” 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

Word Contents
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
Form is defined as one of the following:
Form Meaning
1 Square
2 Rectangular
3 Diagonal
4 Lower triangular factor
5 Upper triangular factor
6 Symmetric
8 Identity
9 Pseudo identity
10 Cholesky factor
11 Trapezoidal factor
13 Sparse lower triangular factor
15 Sparse upper triangular factor
Type is defined as one of the following:
Type Meaning
1 Real, single precision

Type Meaning
2 Real, double precision
3 Complex, single precision
4 Complex, double precision
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 the NX Nastran User's Guide).
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), 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.
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 can 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. 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 NX 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 $
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:
Listing 1-1. Module Properties List

Chapter
Direct Matrix
Matrix Abstraction
Abstraction
The MPL listing contains useful information under the following column headers:
Header Description
MOD-NAME Module name
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.
Some or all data blocks and parameters can be left unspecified (or purged), according to the module
description. If a parameter is unspecified, 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, 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, a constant or variable parameter must be specified
for the first parameter. For example,
-- NO DEFAULT --
on the PARAML module indicates that 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. If a parameter is specified as input,
either a constant or variable can be specified. Note that character strings or variables specified for
parameters are limited to eight characters in length.
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, 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 is returned by the PARAM module for
later use in the DMAP program. If the S,N prefix is omitted, 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
• Database Function

Chapter
Direct Matrix
Matrix Abstraction
Abstraction
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.
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 appear only 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, can 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.

signify types:

number is dependent on the precision of the argument; for example, 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

Control Statement
The NX 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
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, 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, Siemens PLM Software recommends
using an IF()THEN statement.
Conditional Branching—IF ( ) THEN Statement
The IF ( ) THEN operation has the following form:

1. IF(expression)THEN $
.
. DMAP executed if expression is TRUE
.
ENDIF $
2. IF(expression)THEN $
.
. DMAP executed if expression is TRUE
.
ELSE $
.
. DMAP executed if expression is FALSE
.
ENDIF $
3. IF(expression 1)THEN $
.
. DMAP executed if expression 1 is TRUE
.
ELSE IF(expression 2)THEN $
.
. DMAP executed if expression 1 is FALSE
. and expression 2 is TRUE
ELSE IF(expression n)THEN $
.
. DMAP executed if expression 1 through expression
. n-1 are FALSE and expression n is TRUE
ELSE $
.
. DMAP executed if expression 1 through expression
. n are FALSE
ENDIF $
The expressions in the above examples are relational and/or logical operations that result in a logical
output of either TRUE or FALSE. The allowable relational operators are discussed in “Expressions
and Operators”
Looping—DO WHILE ( ) Statement

DO WHILE(expression) $
.
.
.

Chapter
Direct Matrix
Matrix Abstraction

ENDDO $
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 in
“Expressions and Operators”. There is no limit to the allowable number of DO WHILE statements.
Scratch NDDL and local blocks which are first referenced and created inside a DO WHILE loop
are automatically deleted at the end of the loop. The FILE statement with the APPEND or SAVE
keyword can 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” 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 can or cannot 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.
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 can 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 $
.
.
.
CALL TEST A,,C/D,,F/P1/S,P2/S,Q1 $
.
.
.
CALL TEST A,B,C/I,J,K/0/S,P2/Q3 $
.
.
.
END $
SUBDMAP TEST X,Y,Z/L,M,N/A1/A2/A3 $
TYPE PARM,,I,Y,A3 $
TYPE PARM,,I,N,A1,A2 $
.
.
.
RETURN $
END $
The following should also be noted:

• The data block names specified on the SUBDMAP statement argument list are called local names
and do not appear in any diagnostic output. Diagnostic output, such as data base directory print
or DIAG 8, indicates only 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, and so on, and the top-level names are A, B, C, and so on.
• 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” statement.
• Recursive subDMAP calls are allowed; for example, a subDMAP can call itself either directly or
indirectly.
• The last parameter in the argument list must not be followed by a slash (/).
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)

Chapter
Direct Matrix
Matrix Abstraction
Abstraction
.
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”
for a description, and “Output from a Previous Module Rule” and “Automatic Deletion of Scratch
Data Blocks” for related discussion.
Data Base Function Statement

The data base function statements are DBEQUIV and DBDELETE. See “DMAP Modules and
Statements” for a description.
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.
1.7 Automatic Deletion of Scratch Data Blocks

Scratch NDDL and local data blocks are stored on the SCRATCH DBset. A DBset is a physical file
that is a subdivision of the database. 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, 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 (for example, 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, for example, DO WHILE, even though the
data block’s LTU is located after the loop (for example, 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
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,,,,,/ $
DMIIN DMI,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 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, then sets a special integer parameter named NOGO to
-1. The output files can be purged or incomplete. If no errors are discovered, NOGO is set to 0. The

Chapter
Direct Matrix
Matrix Abstraction
Abstraction
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 sets NOGO to -1.
Modules that presently have this option include:
DCMP MGEN
DECOMP MTRXIN
DYCNTRL SEDR
EMG SELA
GP2 SEMA
GP3 SSG1
GP4 TA1
LCGEN
1.10 SubDMAPs DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH

The DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH module capabilities prior to MSC.Nastran 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” under subDMAPs
DBFETCH, DBMGR, and DBSTORE.
Prior to MSC.Nastran Version 66, data blocks can be stored, fetched, and manipulated from the
database via the DMAP modules DBSTORE, DBFETCH and DBMGR. In MSC.Nastran Version 66
these modules were removed in favor of a more robust and automatic capability. To help you 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 if they are
being used in any NX 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,
DBLOCATE, DBLOAD, and DBUNLOAD statements. The CONVERT clause modifies qualifier values
of items selected by the WHERE clause on the DBLOCATE and DBLOAD statements.
The WHERE and CONVERT clauses specify values for PROJECT, VERSION, qualifiers, and DBSET.
PROJECT specifies the project-ID that is originally defined on the PROJECT FMS statement at the
time the project is created. VERSION specifies the desired version-ID under 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 can 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)”). 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 path name. The path names 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,
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, the logical expression is true. Several
simple where expressions can be joined into one where expression by the following logical operators:
AND, OR, XOR, and EQV. The NOT operator can be used to negate a where expression. For
example, NOT(SEID>0) is the same as SEID≥0. Arithmetic operations and DMAP functions can also
be specified in the where expression (see “Expressions and Operators”).
If a qualifier in a where-expr is not a qualifier in the path of a specified item, 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,
the unspecified qualifiers are wildcarded. (For example, in the statement quali= * , all values are
selected.) The default values of qualifiers, PROJECT, VERSION, and DBSET are described under
the statement in which the WHERE clause is specified.
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” in the NX Nastran
Quick Reference Guide), and qualifier values of items selected by the WHERE clause on the
DBLOCATE and DBLOAD statements. The CONVERT clause contains one or more assignment
statements separated by semicolons. The format of the CONVERT clause is:
CONVERT(PROJECT=project-expr; VERSION=version-expr; ,
DBSET=DBset-expr;quali=qual-expri[;...])
The PROJECT and VERSION statements modify the project-ID (see “PROJ” in the NX Nastran Quick
Reference Guide) and version-ID. The DBSET statement modifies the DBset-name. The value of
quali is replaced by qual-expri for selected items that have quali in their path. qual-expri is any valid
expression (see “Expressions and Operators” 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, a
fatal message is issued. If project-expr and/or version-expr produces a project- or version-ID which
does not exist, one is created. Also, all version-lDs less than version-expr that do not exist are
created; but they are “empty.”
Examples of the CONVERT clause are:
• 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, 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; the new values for the SElD qualifier
are 2, 4, and 6:
• Set all values of qualifier SElD to be twice the value of the PEID qualifier.
• CONVERT(SElD=2*PElD)

Chapter 2: Overview of Data Blocks
• Introduction
• Matrix Data Blocks
• Table Data Blocks
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 NX Nastran solution sequences with PARAM,POST.
Data block descriptions are arranged alphabetically by the generic name of the data block. A data
block description can 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 “Glossaries” .
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, an "F" or "T" can 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

Nonlinear statics Loop identification number
Normal or complex eigenvalues Mode number
Frequency response Subcase ID and 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, U_T has 30
columns. If multiple TSTEP command subcases are requested, there is a separate solution matrix for
each subcase. 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 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
represent the second subcase, and so on. For example, if an analysis is performed with four forcing
frequencies and three DLOAD subcases, the solution matrix has 12 columns in which the first 4
columns correspond all forcing frequencies in the first subcase. If multiple FREQUENCY command
subcases are requested, there is a separate solution matrix for each subcase. For a description
of matrix trailers see “Data Blocks” .
2.3 Table Data Blocks

This section discusses common attributes across tables.
IFP Tables
The IFP module processes the Bulk Data Section and creates data blocks which contain images
of each Bulk Data entry. Modules IFP2 through IFP9, MODEPT, MODGM2, GP0, SEQP, and
MODGM4 then 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, 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

Overview of Data Blocks
table trailer. The trailer bit indicates the presence of record type in the data block; that is, if the record
is present in the table, 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 the correspondence between a trailer
bit and its word and bit location in the trailer.
Trailer Bit Location in trailer
Word Position
1 – 16 1 16 – 1
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 which corresponds
to the 4th bit position, numbered from the right, in trailer word 3. Based on the trailer bit, the following
FORTRAN statements can 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 the second word of the header record
WORD = trailer word
BIT = trailer word bit position numbered from the right
and all variables are defined as integers.
OFP Tables
The header record of all OFP tables contains codes which indicate how the output should be labeled,
formatted, and printed.

Note
Note: In some OFP table descriptions (OEE, OEF, OES for example), you will see formats such
as ACODE,4=05, or TCODE,1=02 (versus ACODE=05 or TCODE=02). The integer values 4
and 1 in these examples are function codes. Function codes specify operations to perform on
the value in the data block. The operation result will then be used to determine the data format.
The following lists the available function codes and their operation:
Function codes Operation
1 if (item_name/1000 = 2,3,6) then return 2, else return 1
2 mod(item_name,100)
3 mod(item_name,1000)
4 item_name/10
5 mod(item_name,10)
6 if iand(item_name,8)<> then set to 0, else set to 1
7 if item_name/1000
= 0 or 2, then set to 0

= 1 or 3, then set to 1
> 3, then set to 2.
>65535 iand(item_name,iand(func_code,65535))
For example, if a value of 100 is found in an ACODE,4 field, the function_code of 4 results in
the operation item_name/10 = 100/10 = 10. Thus the data format under the ACODE,4=10
row would be used.
Approach_Code
Approach_code indicates the analysis type and device type(s).
1. Analysis type is equal to approach_code/10 indicates:
Type Description
1 Statics
2 Normal modes or buckling (real eigenvalues)
3 Differential stiffness 0

2. Data format and sort types are extracted from the bit pattern equal to table_code/1000. Bits
numbered from the right are:
Bit Description
1 Complex (on) flag
2 SORT2 (on) flag
3 Random (on) flag
Therefore, table_code/1000 can be one of the following values:
Value Sort type Data format Random
0 SORT1 Real No
1 SORT1 Complex No
2 SORT2 Real No
3 SORT2 Complex No
4 SORT1 Real Yes
6 SORT2 Real Yes

Format_code
Format_code is somewhat redundant and can conflict with table_code. In regard to real or complex
data formats, table_code/1000 always overrides format_code. However, when table_code indicates
complex data, format_code is used to determine whether the output is real, real/imaginary, or
magnitude/phase.
Value Data format
1 Real
2 Real/Imaginary
3 Magnitude/Phase
Stress_code
In the OES data block description, word 11 (stress_code) of the header record determines the
following:
• Octahedral (or maximum shear) or Hencky-von Mises.
• Stress or strain.
• If the strain is curvature or fibre.
Stress_code is a bit pattern and the bits numbered from the right are:
Bit Description
1 Hencky von Mises (on) flag
2 Strain (on) flag
3 Strain/fiber (on) flag
4 Same as bit 2
5 Material coordinate system (on) flag

Therefore, stress_code can be one of the following values:
Value On bits Description
0 0000 Stress maximum shear or octahedral
1 0001 Stress von Mises
10 1010 Strain Curvature maximum shear or octahedral
11 1011 Strain Curvature von Mises
14 1110 Strain Fibre maimum shear or octahedral
15 1111 Strain Fibre von Mises
In the OQG data block description, stress_code can be one of the following values:
Value Description
0 SPCForce
1 MPCForce
Element Type
Some tables reference an element type number. For example, EST, KDICT, OES, and 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 purposes only; see types 85 through
98, 100, 144, and 201 through 223.

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, the number of boundary grids, is zero, record BIDMAP does not exist and XIDMAP is
used.
4. When grid point data is written to an OP2 file, by default the MAKEOLD module will convert the
grid point data to BGPDT68 format. PARAM,OMACHPR,YES can be included in the input file
to prevent this conversion, but be aware that post-processors may not recognize the BGPDT
format as described above.
3.4 BGPDT68

1. Scaler points are identified by CID=-1 and XCOORD = YCOORD = ZCOORD = 0.
2. When the BGPDT68 data block is written by the MAKEOLD module, the data is named BGPDT
although the BGPDT68 format is written.
3. BGPDT68 is the same as BGPDT except that:

• In Record - DATA, X1, X2, and X3 are converted from RX to RS.
• SIL, EXTID, DOF_TYPE, PSC, and BGID are stripped from Record - DATA. The record
size is reduced from 9 words to 4 words.

11. RANDBIT contains bit pairs for the selection of PSDF and ATOC beginning with left handed bits 1
and 2 for DISP and continuing with VELO, ACCE, OLOAD, SPCF, STRESS, FORCE, STRAIN,
and MPCF Case Control commands for bits 3 through 18. The bit pair value of "00" means none,
"01" means ATOC, "10" means PSDF, and "11" means RALL.
12. Possible values for AESYMXY and AESYMXZ are:

• 2 = antisymmetric
• 3 = asymmetric
• 4 = antisymmetric
13. The actual starting position of any SET information is CASECC(166) + LSEM + 1. The default for
CASECC(166) is 600. Therefore, for example, if LSEM=0, SETs will start at CASECC(601). All
other following information simply continues beyond where the previous one ends.

Notes:
1. CSUPER1 and CSUPUP records are recognized only by IFP module and are removed eventually.
2. ADUMi records are not written. Rather, the contents are coded and stored in words 45 thru 54
of the system cell common block.
3. There is no record for the GRDSET entry. Rather, the GRID record is modified accordingly.
4. When GEOM1 is an alias for GEOM1VU, view grids are appended to the GRID record. The
starting view grid id is controlled by system cell 180.
On the SEBULK entry, the allowable values for superelement type are:
• 1=PRIMARY
• 2=COLLECTOR
• 3=IDENTICAL
• 4=REPEATED
• 5=EXTERNAL
• 6=MIRROR
4.3 GEOM2
Table of Bulk Data entries related to element connectivity.
GEOM2 also contains information on scalar points. ECT is identical in format to GEOM2 except all
grid and scalar point external identification numbers are replaced by internal numbers. Also, ECT
does not contain SPOINT records.

Notes:
1. Records appear in ascending internal element ID.
2. When the ECT is an alias for the GEOM2VU block, the third word of the header record in:
• VUHEXA becomes 9921
• VUPENTA becomes 9922
• VUTETRA becomes 9923
For each of the above, the grid id is then a VIEW grid id. The beginning value of the VIEW
grids is controlled by system cell 182.
3. Internal indices are:

• CQUADP: (NGRIDS + 2*NEDGES +4*NFACES + 1 Bubble Point)
• CTRIAP: (NGRIDS+2*NEDGES+NFACES + 1BODY(for bubble)
• CBEAMP: (NGRIDS+2*NEDGES)
4. For the BEAMAERO, Q4AERO, and T3AERO records, the component types are general labels
for components:
• SLBD are Slender Body Types and are "BEAM-LIKE" Elements appearing only in the
BEAMAERO Record.
• The remaining Components Types can be QUAD or TRIA connections denoting various
element types.
• INBD are Interference Body Panels.
• LS are Lifting Surface Panels.

• WAKE are Wake Boxes.
• MFLO are Flow-Thru Surfaces like Inlets (Mass-Flow).
5. In GENEL record, MM=((M*(M+1)/2)-1).

Notes:
1. CSUPER1 and CSUPUP records are recognized only by the IFP module and are removed
eventually.
2. ADUMi records are not written. Rather, the contents are coded and stored in words 45 thru 54
of the system cell common block.
3. There is no record for the GRDSET entry. Rather, the GRID record is modified accordingly.
4. When GEOM1 is an alias for GEOM1VU, view grids are appended to the GRID record. The
starting view grid id is controlled by system cell 180.
5. On the SEBULK entry, the allowable values for superelement type are:
• 1=PRIMARY
• 2=COLLECTOR
• 3=IDENTICAL
• 4=REPEATED
• 5=EXTERNAL
• 6=MIRROR
6. GEOM168 is the same as GEOM1 except that:

• In Record - CORD2C, the locations of A, B, and C in coordinates 1, 2, and 3 of RID are
converted from RX to RS.
• In Record - CORD2R, the locations of A, B, and C in coordinates 1, 2, and 3 of RID are

• In Record - CORD2S, the locations of A, B, and C in coordinates 1, 2, and 3 of RID are

• In Record - POINT, the location of the point in coordinate 1, 2, or 3 of CID are converted
from RX to RS.

Chapter
• In Record - GRID, the location of the point in coordinate 1, 2, and 3 of CP are converted
from RX to RS.

4 LENTRY I Number of words per entry in RECORD=MAP
5 NBRSEC I Number of secondary superelements
6 NWDDEF I Number of words per entry in RECORD=DEFINE
Notes:
1. SEID=0 implies residual.
2. This table is UNSTRUCTURED. The reason is that each of the records repeat for each
superelement.
3. The low order (right to left) 10 bits in TYPEBIT are set as follows: Bit Position: Meaning
0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
------------------- -------
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Primary
1 . . . . . . . . . Partitioned

. . . . . . 1 . . . External
. . . . . . . 1 . . Mirror
. . . . . . . . 1 . Identical
. . . . . . . . . 1 Apply mapping transform
4. 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)
5. 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

Bit number Meaning
MAXBIT-IDBITS through MAXBIT Internal superelement index (INTIDX) to which grid

is interior
6. where MAXBIT = NBPW*(LENTRY-1)-1, NBPW is the number of bits per word, and "incongruent"
indicates inconsistent coordinate systems on the boundary point.
7. In RECORD=INFO the primary superelement exterior grid points are sorted in the order of the
secondary exterior grid points. Only if SEQSEP is specified.
8. SELABEL is created by SEP1X only.
9. LENTRY is computed from IDBITS:
10. IDBITS is the minimum number of bits required to represent NBRSE.
IDBITS = int ( ln ( max (NBRSE,1)) + 1.01)
ln 2
ln 2
11. where ln is the natural logarithm and int is the integer function.
12. LENTRY is number of words in the grid point map.
LENTRY = int ( NBRSE + IDBITS + 1 + 2)
NBPW
NBPW
13. For example, if NBRSE=50 and NBPW=32, IDBITS=6 and LENTRY=3.
14. 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.
15. RECORD=INFO is the same between both systems, although modules SEP1X and SEP2X
do not use ENTRY=ELIDS.
16. ENTRY=PGRID exists only for secondary superelements with resequencing, that is, bit 1 is on in
TYPE, and lists the relative primary grid points in the same order as ENTRY=EXTGRD.

Chapter 7: NASTRAN Data Definition Language (NDDL)
• NDDL Summary
• Detailed Description of NDDL Statements
7.1 NDDL Summary

The NDDL (NX Nastran Data Definition Language) has several purposes:
1. The NDDL describes the hierarchical data structure of the NX Nastran database.
2. The NDDL provides the mechanism, in conjunction with the TYPE DMAP statement, for
determining which NX Nastran generated data blocks or parameters or both are 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 provide the means for selecting specific data
blocks in the form of flat tables from the hierarchical database structure, 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
Detailed Description of NDDL Statements
Syntactical Descriptions
In the descriptions of the NDDL statements, the following notation is 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,
only one can be specified.
6. One or more items in braces { } must be specified. If the describers are stacked vertically, only
one can be specified.
DATABLK
Describes data blocks used for NDDL access

A data block is a collection of matrix columns or table records and can 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,
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.

NASTRAN Data Definition Language (NDDL)
where:
RECORD(*) = rec_description defines all records. It can be specified only once following
RECORD=HEADER.
RECORD = rec_name[(h1 [,h2 [,h3 ]]] assigns a name to the record and can optionally
indicate that the record begins with one to three integers called header words.
This format can be specified more than once. Only a few data blocks have this
type of record; such as IFP module output data blocks.
rec_description contains one or more of the following rec_components that can be repeated and in
any order:
• item_component defines a single item.
• entry_component defines a description of one or more rec_components that can be repeated in

the record.
• either_component defines a description of one or more rec_components that is conditional upon

the value of another item anywhere in the record.
item_component has one of the following forms:
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:

I Integer
RS Real — single precision
RD Real — double precision
CS Complex — single precision

• UNDEF indicates a dummy item that is one machine-word in length.
entry_component has the following form:

ENTRY[ = entry-name],
rec_component
where:
COUNT = The number of times the entry occurs in the record. item_name
specifies the name of an item in the record whose value specifies
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 = A numeric value(s) that identifies the end of repeating ENTRY...

Variables:
db_name Data block name; 1 through 8 characters in length. The first character
must be alphabetic. The following characters can be used for data
block-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).
entry_name Entry name (optional).
item_name Item name. Item_name can have an integer argument and would then
take the form: item_name(i) where i is an explicit integer value.
item_vali Item value.
func_code Function code. (Optional) Specifies an operation to perform on the

item_name value found in the data block. The result of the operation
will then be compared to item_val.
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 cannot physically
exist in any given data block.
2. For UNDEF items, DEPENdencies are not checked. 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, the Gs were grouped into an ENTRY - ENDENTRY group called GEES with 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, NX Nastran sees the describer (2603,26,300),
rather than the record name (for example, MAT9).
Another example of an ENTRY ... ENDENTRY group is as follows:

RECORD=CYJOIN(5210,52,257),
SIDE,I,C,I,
ENTRY,
G1,I,
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 stops. 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 ...

Chapter
NASTRAN
Definition Language
Language (NDDL)
(NDDL)
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,
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 an “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.

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 item-name nor
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.
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:
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. The format is
[record_name][:[entry_name]][:[item_name]].

NASTRAN
Definition Language

(NDDL)
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

9.3 ADD
Matrix add
Computes [X] = α[A] β [B] where α and β are scalar multipliers ( can be the +, *, ÷ or overwrite
operators).
Format:
ADD A,B/X/ALPHA/BETA/IOPT $
Input Data Blocks:
A Any matrix (real or complex).
B Any matrix (real or complex).
Output Data Block:
X Matrix.

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
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 xjj = αAjj βBij
IOPT Operation
0 + , add
1
2
Remarks:
1. [A] and/or [B ] can be purged, in which case the corresponding term in the matrix sum is assumed
to be null. The input data blocks must be unique.
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, the size of X is the size of A. For example:
Equation 9-1.
or
Equation 9-2.
4. If ALPHA or BETA are specified as constants and their imaginary part is zero; for example,
“(5.,0.)”, they can alternately be specified as real constants; for example, “5.” See examples.

5. For exponentiation of each element in a matrix see the “DIAGONAL” module.
Examples:
1. Add KDD to MDD.

ADD KDD,MDD/DDD $
2. Multiply MAA by 5.0.

ADD MAA,/MAA5/(5.0,0.0) $
or
ADD MAA,/MAA5/5.0 $
3. Overwrite terms of [A] with the following terms.

ADD A,B/X///3 $
9.4 ADD5
Matrix add
To compute [X] = α[A] + β[B] + λ[C] + Δ[D] + ε[E], where α, β, λ, Δ, and ε are scalar multipliers.
Format:
ADD5 A,B,C,D,E/
X/
ALPHA/BETA/GAMMA/DELTA/EPSLN/
ALPHAD/BETAD/GAMMAD/DELTAD/EPSLND $
Input Data Blocks:
A,B,C,D,E Must be distinct matrices (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].
GAMMA Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is λ, the scalar multiplier

for [C].

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
DELTA Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is Δ, the scalar multiplier

for [D].
EPSLN Input-complex single precision-default = (1.0,0.0). This is ε, the scalar multiplier

for [E].
ALPHAD Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the scalar

multiplier for [A].
BETAD Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the scalar

multiplier for [B].
GAMMAD Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the scalar

multiplier for [C].
DELTAD Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the scalar

multiplier for [D].
EPSLND Input-complex double precision-default = (1.0D0,0.0D0). This is the scalar

multiplier for [E].
Remarks:
1. Any of the matrices can be purged, in which case the corresponding term in the matrix sum is
assumed to be 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, X is 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, 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; for
example, “(5.,0.)”, they can be alternately specified as real constants; for example, “5.” See
Example 2 below.
5. If any of the scalar single precision multipliers are specified as constants and their imaginary part
is zero; for example, (5.,0.), they can be alternately specified as real constants; for example, 5.
See Example 2. This alternate specification is not allowed for the double precision multipliers.
Constant double precision values must be entered in full: for example, (2.0D0, 0.0D0).
6. If ALPHAD, BETAD, GAMMAD, DELTAD, or EPSNLN is non-zero, the corresponding single

precision parameter is ignored EXCEPT when any of these parameter is complex unity. In that
case, the value of the single-precision parameter is used instead. Caution must be exercised
in a DMAP loop to insure that the single-prec parameter is also complex unity whenever the
double-prec parameter is complex unity.
Examples:
1. Compute:

IOMEGA=CMPLX(0.,OMEGA)
OMEGSQ=IOMEGA**2
ADD5 MDD,BDD,KDD,,/DDD/OMEGSQ/IOMEGA $
2. Multiply [MAA] by 5.0.

ADD5 MAA,,,,/MAA5/(5.0,0.0) $
or
ADD5 MAA,,,,/MAA5/5.0 $
3. Scale A by a large number. The largest element in A is 1.0.

TYPE PARM,,CD,SCALER=(1.D40,0.0D0) $
ADD5 A,,,,/ASCALED//////SCALER $
4. Change the type of the real double precision matrix A to complex.

ADD5 A,,,,/ACD//(1.,1.) $
Although the value of the second parameter does not appear in the output, it changes the type
from real double precision (type 2) to complex double precision.

and aeroelastic analysis.

Output Data Blocks:
CASEA A single record (subcase) of CASECC
Parameters:
NSKIP Input/output-integer-default=0. Trim subcase counter.
LPFLG Input/output-integer-default=0. Flag to indicate whether there is another case

control record to process. Set to -1 for the last subcase and Mach number.
MFLG Input/output-integer-default=0. Flag to indicate whether there is another Mach

number to process in the current subcase. Set to 0 for the last Mach number in
the subcase

SYMXZ Output-integer-no default. Aerodynamic x-z symmetry flag.
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 TRIM or a DIVERG Case Control command.
1. If it is TRIM, 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, MFLG is checked for any remaining MACH numbers in the subcase. If any are
found, 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, LPFLG is set to -1.

1. Set up for aerostatic analysis.

1. Under IOPT = 2, the output matrix data block is actually 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 can 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 is set to that of IN2 (IOPT = 1) or IN1 (IOPT = 2).
6. Siemens PLM Software recommends that the OUT data block be a scratch data block. In other
words, it should not be saved on a permanent DBset.
7. If NULL1>0, a type indicator value is written in the word immediately preceding the word(s)
containing the value of the parameter. The type codes are: 0:INT, 1:REAL, 2:REALD, 3:CMPX,
4:CMPXD and 8:CHAR.
8. For IOPT>9, trailer word 1 contains a count of the number of data records on the file and word 2
contains the value of the NULL1 parameter.

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. The sum of the

Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
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, the CMETHOD command is ignored and the EIGC entry is selected by
this parameter value. Applicable for all methods.
If SID<0, both the CMETHOD command and all EIGC entries are ignored and the
subsequent parameter values (E, ND1, etc.) are 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, METH specifies the method of

eigenvalue extraction.
CLAN Complex Lanczos (block or single vector)
HESS QZ Hessenberg or QR Hessenberg
SVD Singular Value Decomposition
ISRR Iterative Schur-Rayleigh-Ritz method
SOAR Second-Order Arnoldi method
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.
ALPHAJ Input-real-default=0.0. Real part of shift point for pre-Version 70.5 Lanczos
method. Used only when SID<0.

method. Used only when SID<0.
MAXBLK Input-integer-default=0. Maximum block size. Used only when SID<0.
IBLK Input-integer-default=0. Initial block size. Used only when SID<0.
KSTEP Input-integer-default=0. Number of frequency steps. Used only when SID<0.

‘RPM’, ‘CPS’, ‘HZ’, and ‘RAD’. Blank for non-rotor dynamic analyses.
Remarks:
1. Eigenvalues are extracted by the Inverse Power, Hessenberg, or Lanczos method.

2. At least one of KXX, BXX, or 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 can be purged for all.
4. CLAMA and OCEIG are suitable for printing by the OFP module.
5. For the Hessenberg method, spill logic can 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. Siemens PLM Software recommends using the UEIGL module for real unsymmetric
eigensolutions.
8. CLAMMAT contains the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues, with dimensions compatible with CPHX
and/or LCPHX so that
[KDD] [CPHX] + [BDD][CPHX][CLAMMAT] + [MDD][CPHX][CLAMMAT] 2 = 0
and
[LCPHX] T [KDD] + [CLAMMAT][LCPHX] T + [BDD] + [CLAMMAT] 2 [LCPHX] T [KDD] = 0
For development purposes, when block Lanczos is selected and system cell 108 is set to 2048,
the fifth output slot contains the cross orthogonality matrix
[Y] T [X],
which should be identity. See the NX Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide for the definition
of Y and X.

for processing in MSC.Patran. If PROGRAM =’GRASP’, the DBC database is
suitable for processing in NX Nastran Access.
OVRWRT Character-input-default=’YES’. DBC data base overwrite flag. If OVRWRT =’YES’

and the DBC database was created in a prior run, data blocks pre-existing on
the DBC database are overwritten in the current run when the qualifier values
are identical.
DESITER Integer-input-defaul =0. Design optimization loop identification number.
ADPTINDX Integer-input-default=0. When ADPTINDX is not equal to zero, the data base
object attribute is qualified by the value of this parameter, which denotes
intermediate p-element results exist.
LUSET Integer-input-default=0. NDOF denotes size of the model (number of degrees of

freedom), which is saved for p-element iterations indexed by the ADPTINDX
values and used to correlate the size of the model to the p-element iteration index.

2. DBCPATH is a parameter defined on a statement in the NASTRAN NDDL; that is,

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 forms the
set of QUALifiers to be written to the DBC database and associated with the input data blocks.
Also, the PROJECT and VERSION is written. Siemens PLM Software recommends that the
input data blocks all have the same PATH.
If it is not NDDL, only the PROJECT and VERSION are 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’, 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’, 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 can 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.

9.51 DBDELETE
Deletes NDDL data blocks and parameters
Deletes NDDL data blocks and parameters. An optional WHERE clause can be specified for a
more selective deletion.
Format:
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” statement. If the where-expr is true, the named items
are 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 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, none of
that data block or parameter is deleted. For example, given that SPC is not a qualifier for KGG,
the following DBDELETE statement does 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),
the current value of the qualifier is assumed. For example, given that SEID is a qualifier for KAA,
the following DBDICT statements are equivalent:
SPC=10 $
DBDELETE DATABLK=KAA $
or
DBDELETE DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10) $

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
The WILDCARD keyword can 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,
and so on.:
DBDELETE DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10 AND WILDCARD) $
Note: WILDCARD applies only to qualifiers and not colnames like PROJECT, PROJECT,
VERSION, CDATE, and so on.
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.
9.52 DBDICT
Prints 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 can 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
allows the specification of only a single table on a DBDICT statement.

SELECT(colname[- ’col-label’]. . . ),
FORMAT (FWIDTH = w [.d] DWIDTH = w [.d] AWIDTH = a IWIDTH = i,
LWIDTH = k COLSPACE = c VALUE = w,
colname = col-width, . . .),
Describers:
DATABLK Print the data blocks. datablk-list specifies a list of NDDL-defined

data blocks separated by commas. If LOCAL is specified, the
non-NDDL-defined data blocks are printed.
PARAM Print the parameter table. param-list specifies a list of parameters

separated by commas. If LOCAL is specified, the non-NDDL-defined
parameters are printed.
PROJVERS Print the project-version table.
QUALIFIERS Print the qualifier table.
QUALCURR Print the current values of the qualifiers. SORT is ignored.

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
where-expr Logical expression that specifies the desired values of colnames described
below. 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 for a further description.
The default for VERSION is the current version and PROJECT is the
current project. The default for qual is * which is all qualifier values found
on the database. See Remark 12.
SELECT Specifies a list of column names to be printed. The order of the specified
colnames is printed from left to right. If colname is not specified, all
columns are printed.
colname Column name. Colname specifies a particular attribute of the database

item; such as data block name (NAME), creation date (CDATE), number
of blocks (SIZE), or qualifier name (SEID, SPC, etc.). The allowable
colnames are given in the Remarks.
col-label The label to printed above the column identified by colname. The default
for col-label is the colname. col-label cannot be specified for colnames:
QUALSET, QUALALL, and TRAILER.
FWIDTH = w.d Specifies the default width for single precision real numbers in real and
complex qualifiers. (Integers: w >0 and d>0, Default = 12.5).
DWIDTH = w.d Specifies the default width for double precision real numbers in real and
complex qualifiers. (Integers: w > 0 and d > 0, Default = 17.10).
AWIDTH = a Specifies the default width for character string qualifiers. Character strings
are printed with enclosing single quotation marks, even if the string is
blank. (Integer > 0, Default = 8.)
IWIDTH = i Specifies the default width for integer qualifiers. (Integer > 0, see Remarks
for defaults.)
LWIDTH = k Specifies the default width for logical qualifiers. Logical values are printed
as either “T” for TRUE or “F” for FALSE. (Integer >0, Default = 1.)
COLSPACE = c Specifies the default number of spaces between columns. (Integer > 0,
see Remarks for defaults).
VALUE = w Specifies the default width for parameter values. The values are printed as
character strings with left justification. (Integer>0, Default=40.)
col-width The print width of the data under colname or qual-name. For real numbers,
specify w.d where w is the width of the field and d is the number of digits in
the mantissa. For integers and character strings, specify w where w is the
width of the field. col-width cannot be specified for colnames: QUALSET,
QUALALL, and TRAILER.

SORT Specifies how the rows are sorted. The sort based on ASCII sequence and
is performed in order according to each colname specified in the list. A “D”
following the colname causes the sort to be in descending order. An “A”
following the colname causes the sort to be in ascending order. Colnames
QUALSET, QUALALL, and TRAILER cannot be specified under SORT.
Each colname specified in SORT must be separated by commas.
page-title A title to be printed on each page of the directory output.
RIGHT, CENTER, Print justification of the page title.

CDATE is printed as YYMMDD where YY, MM, and DD are the year, month, and date,
respectively. CTIME is HHMMSS where HH, MM, and SS are the hour, minute, and second,
respectively.
9. If a parameter or qualifier value is defined to be a character string, the value is printed with
enclosing single quotation marks. Blank strings are also printed with single quotation marks.
10. If a given qualifier is not in the path of a given data block or parameter, blank spaces are printed.
11. A line wraps 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.

• If the where-expr specifies a colname that is not assigned to the data block or parameter, no
directory information is printed for that data block or parameter. For example, given that SPC
is not a qualifier for KGG, the following DBDICT statement produces no output:
DBDICT DATABLK=KGG WHERE(SPC=10) $
• If the where-expr does not specify a colname that is assigned to the data block (or
parameter), the qualifier is wildcarded. For example, given that SEID is a qualifier for KAA,
the following DBDICT statements are equivalent:
DBDICT DATABLK=KAA $
DBDICT DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SEID = *) $

9.53 DBEQUIV
Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters
Equivalences (or copies) NDDL data blocks and parameters based upon qualifiers in a CONVERT
clause. An optional WHERE can be specified for a more selective equivalence.
Format:
Describers:
datablk-list Specifies a list of data blocks separated by commas. The default is *, which
selects all data blocks. The equivalenced data block can 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, 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 can 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, PARAM=(LUSETS/LUSET)
is specified.
where-expr Logical expression that specifies the desired values of colnames described in
Table 2 under the DBDICT statement. If where-expr is true, the named items
are 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 for a further description.
The default for VERSION and PROJECT is the current version and project.
See Remark 1 for more information.

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 for a further discussion on WHERE
and CONVERT clauses. The default action for VERSION and PROJECT
is to convert to the current version-ID and current project-ID. But if either
PROJECT or VERSION is specified in the convert-expr, both must be
specified.
OVRWRT By default (that is, NOOVRWRT), duplicate data blocks or parameters on the
created by DBEQUIV cause a fatal message. A duplicate means that a data
NOOVRWRT 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, 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, the
selected data blocks and parameters can be overwritten once.
Remarks:
If the where-expr specifies a colname that is not assigned to the data block or parameter, none of
that data block or parameter is equivalenced. For example, given that SPC is not a qualifier for
KGG, the following DBEQUIV statement does 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),
the current value of the qualifier is assumed. For example, given that SEID is a qualifier for KAA,
the following DBEQUIV statements are equivalent:
SPC=10 $
DBEQUIV DATABLK=KAA CONVERT(SPC=20) $
or
DBEQUIV DATABLK=KAA WHERE(SPC=10) CONVERT(SPC=20) $
The WILDCARD keyword can 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, and so on:
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, and so on.

Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
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.
9.54 SubDMAP DBFETCH

Fetch data blocks stored by DBSTORE
Retrieves user-specified data blocks on the database previously stored with CALL DBSTORE.
Format:
CALL DBFETCH /DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5/Q1/Q2/

ZUZR1 = Q1, ZUZR2 = Q2, ZUZR3 = 0.
3. If DBi appears on the SUBDMAP statement, the actual name of the data block to be stored on the
database is the name that appears on the “highest” CALL statement that contains DBi. DIAG 47
can be specified so that the actual name is printed to the F06 file.
4. If call DBFETCH is being used to obtain data blocks created in a previous run, the RESTART or
DBLOCATE FMS statement must be specified. If DBLOCATE is used, DATABLK = * or DATABLK
= (ZUZR11) must be specified on the DBLOCATE statement.

Example:
Fetch data block named A (name flag = 1 drops the character E) and assign local name as EA.

3. If CALL DBMGR is to be used in restart runs with the structured solution sequences (SOLs 101
through 200), PUTSYS(1, 109) should be specified immediately preceding CALL DBMGR and
PUTSYS(0, 109) should be specified immediately following CALL DBMGR.
9.56 DBSTATUS
Checks status of up to ten data blocks

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
Format:
DBSTATUS DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5,DB6,DB7,DB8,DB9,DB10//
S,N,NODB1/S,N,NODB2/S,N,NODB3/S,N,NODB4/S,N,NODB5/
S,N,NODB6/S,N,NODB7/S,N,NODB8/S,N,NODB9/S,N,NODB10 $
Input Data Blocks:
DBi Any data block (matrix or table)
Output Data Blocks:
None.
Parameters:
NODBi Output-integer-default=-1. Status of the DBi-th data block:
-1 Not generated
0 Empty
1 Generated
10 Offline and empty
11 Offline and generated
Remarks:
1. Trailing commas in the input data block list can be omitted without warning. For example the
following statement:
DBSTATUS KAA,,,,,,,,,//S,N,NOKAA $
can be shortened to:
DBSTATUS KAA//S,N,NOKAA $
2. DBSTATUS is similar to PARAML DB//‘PRES’with expanded capability for empty and offline
data blocks; that is, PARAML returns -1 for empty data blocks and fatally terminates for offline
data blocks.
9.57 SubDMAP DBSTORE

Stores data blocks on the database
Stores user-specified data blocks on the database. Data blocks can only be retrieved by CALL
DBFETCH.

Format:
CALL DBSTORE DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5/DUMMY/Q1/Q2/DBSET/COND $
Input Data Blocks:
DBi Data blocks to be stored. See Remark 5.
Output Data Blocks:
DUMMY A dummy output data block is required to guarantee that the DBSTORE
subdmap is executed when SYSTEM(109) = 0 (alternatively, see Remark 4).
Otherwise, the output data block name may be left blank.
Parameters:
DBSET Character-input-no default. The dbset-name to store DBi. The dbset-name must
be padded with blanks to 5 characters in length; for example, ’DBDN ’.
COND Integer-input-no default. Conditional store flag. COND = 0 means store and
COND ≠ 0 means do not store.
Remarks:
1. All parameters must be specified even if they are not used or the default value is desired. Unused
integer parameters can be set to 0. If DBSET is blank; that is, ’ ’ (a string with 5 blanks), DBi
is stored on DBset DBALL.
2. DBi is stored under the database data block named ZUZR11 qualified with ZNAME = DBi, ZUZR1
= Q1, ZUZR2 = Q2, ZUZR3 = 0 on DBset = DBSET.
3. DBSET should not be ’SCRATCH’ or refer to a scratch dbset.
4. If CALL DBSTORE is to be used in restart runs with the structured solution sequences (SOLs 101
through 200), PUTSYS(1, 109) should be specified just before CALL DBSTORE and PUTSYS(0,
109) just after. See Example 1. Another way to force execution, one without changing the value
of system cell 109 or specifying an output block, is to use an actual parameter for COND, instead
of an integer, together with the S,N prefix (See Example 3). This can be used as an alternative to
specifying a DUMMY output block in non-restart runs where DBSTORE is called.
5. If DBi appears on the SUBDMAP statement, the actual name of the data block to be stored on the
database is the name that appears on the “highest” CALL statement that contains DBi. DIAG 47
can be specified so that the actual name is printed to the F06 file.

9.58 DBVIEW
Creates a virtual data block (or view) from one or more data blocks

Format:
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 and Remark 6.
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 can be
specified only 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, the view-name is
considered as “not generated.” Also, if the where-expr contains a qualifier that is not in the path of
the data-block, 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, the first data block stored is the one that is used.
6. The values assigned to qualifiers not specified in the where-expr are taken from current values.
“AND WILDCARD” can 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 can 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) $

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
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.

Input Data Blocks:
EQEXIN Equivalence between external and internal numbers
A A square matrix (real or complex, symmetric or unsymmetric)
PARTVEC Partitioning vector specified when A is a partition of SETNAME. Its rowsize is

indicated by SETNAME. A is the zero-th partition from PARTVEC.
EQMAP Table of degree-of-freedom global-to-local maps for domain decomposition
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, 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, U contains the contains
the "high ratio terms of the factor diagonal ratios." See Remark 4.
LSEQ Resequencing matrix based on internal resequencing 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 is 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:
1 Use Cholesky decomposition.
0 Use standard decomposition (default).
If KSYM=3, CHOLSKY is set to the number of degrees of freedom in the o-set.
BAILOUT Input-integer-default=0. If BAILOUT≥0, the module exits with an error message

if the factor-to-diagonal ratio exceeds MAXRATIO. If BAILOUT≤-1, the module
continues with a warning message if the factor-to-diagonal ratio exceeds
MAXRATIO.
MAXRATIO Input-real-default=1.E5. See the BAILOUT and ERR parameter.
SETNAME Input-character-default=‘H’. One or two letters indicating the set membership

of [A].
F1 Input-real-default = 0.0. Tolerance for suppressing numbers of small magnitude.

Matrix elements with magnitudes less than F1 are set to zero.
DECOMP Input-integer-default=-1. See the “DECOMP” module.

POWER Output-integer-default=0. See the “DECOMP” module.
SING Output-integer-default=0. See the “DECOMP” module.
NBRCHG Output-integer-default=0. See the “DECOMP” module.
ERR Output-integer-default=-1. If BAILOUT=-1, this parameter always remains at

zero. If BAILOUT=0 and the factor-to-diagonal ratio is negative or 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. If data blocks USET and SIL are not available, SETNAME could be set as “NONE”
for more efficient method of decomposition without grid compression.
4. If A is symmetric, U contains the "MATRIX/FACTOR DIAGONAL RATIO values printed under

UWM 4698. The mathematical definition of U is
Diag(A) = Ad, a vector.
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 you can 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 can appear, depending on the context in which the
DCMP module is being called.
This vector can 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.

Example:
Inspect the numerical conditioning of the [Mmaa] matrix. If the matrix is poorly conditioned, diagnostics
are produced.

For a transient analysis problem {ud}, { }, and {üd} are given explicitly. For frequency response
analysis,

Equation 9-8.

where ω is the forcing frequency and {ud} is the complex response vector. ω comes from PPF. The
vector {Pad} 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 provides a better answer for displacements.

Input Data Block:
A Square matrix (real or complex; symmetric, or unsymmetric, or indefinite

symmetric).

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
Output Data Blocks:
LD Lower triangular factor [L] and diagonal matrix [D] or Cholesky Factor. [LD] also
contains [D] for symmetric decomposition.
U Upper triangular factor or trapezoidal factor for partial decomposition. (See

Remark 4.)
LSEQ Resequencing matrix based on internal resequencing of A.
Parameters:
KSYM Input/output-integer-default=-1.
1 Use standard decomposition.
0 Use unsymmetric decomposition.
-1 Use decomposition consistent with form of [A]. KSYM is reset to 0 or 1

consistent with actual decomposition type (default).
3 Use symmetric partial decomposition. Sparse method is not available with

partial decomposition.
CHOLSKY Input-integer-default=0. If KSYM = 1 or KSYM = -1 and [A] is symmetric:
1 Use Cholesky decomposition.
0 Use standard decomposition (default).
If KSYM = 3, CHOLSKY is set to the number of degrees of freedom in the

o-set.
MINDIAG Output-real double precision-default = 0.0D0. The norm of the minimum diagonal
term of [U].
DET Output-complex single precision-default=(0.0,0.0). The scaled value of the

determinant of [A]. See the POWER parameter. DET is not applicable to sparse
methods. See Remark 1.
POWER Output-integer-default=0. Integer POWER of 10 by which DET should be

multiplied to obtain the determinant of [A]. In other words, the determinant of [A]
is equal to DET*10POWER. POWER is not applicable to sparse methods. See
Remark 1.
SING Output-integer-default=0. SING is set to -1 if [A] is singular. See Remark 3.
NBRCHG Output (for symmetric decomposition only)-integer-default=0. NBRCHG is the

number of negative terms on the diagonal.
MAXRAT Output (for symmetric decomposition only)-real-default=0.0. MAXRAT is the

maximum value of the ratio of the matrix diagonal to the factor diagonal.

DECOMP Input-integer-default=-1. Controls operation of module for exceptional conditions

as defined in the following table. If DECOMP > 0, DECOMP overrides the value
specified on NASTRAN SYSTEM(69) statement.
DECOMP Action
0 or -1 Print up to 50 messages for null columns and zero diagonals

(non-sparse method only).
1 Terminate execution when first null column is encountered.
2 Suppress printing of message when a null column is encountered

(non-sparse method only).
4 Terminate execution when first zero diagonal term is encountered.
8 Suppress printing of message when a zero diagonal term is

encountered (non-sparse method only).
16 Place 1.0 in diagonal position for all null columns and proceed
with the decomposition.
32 Stop the decomposition when zero diagonal terms are

encountered.
64 Exit after execution of preface for symmetric decomposition.
DEBUG Input-integer-default=-1. Passive column logic control. DEBUG is used only by

non-sparse method. See the NX Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide and
Remark 8.
THRESH Input-integer-default=-6. Power of 10 defining the pivoting threshold for

unsymmetric decomposition. Row pivoting is done if any value on the factor
diagonal is less than 10THRESH. Siemens PLM Software recommends using
THRESH = -2 for indefinite matrices because accuracy is improved even though
execution time is increased.
Remarks:
1. By default, the DECOMP module uses sparse matrix methods. See the NX Nastran Numerical
Methods User’s Guide.
a. The DECOMP parameter options 0, -1, 2, and 8 are ignored with the sparse method.
b. The precision of A must be equivalent to the machine precision.
c. Cholesky decomposition is not supported under this method; that is, the parameter
CHOLSKY = 1 is ignored.
d. NASTRAN statement system cell 166 selects options for the sparse method.

DMAP Module
0 No action
1 If insufficient core is encountered, switch to conventional decomposition and continue

(default)
2 Print diagnostics
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, 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; for example,
ADD, MPYAD, and so on. All other factors are packed, nonstandard data blocks as described in
Remark 2 and cannot be processed by other matrix modules except where noted.
6. The output triangular and trapezoidal matrices has the following forms in the matrix trailer:
Form Factor type Matrix type
4 Lower triangle Symmetric or unsymmetric
5 Upper triangle Unsymmetric only
10 Cholesky Symmetric only
11 Trapezoidal Symmetric only
13 Lower triangular Sparse symmetric
15 Lower or upper triangular Sparse unsymmetric
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 can 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, Siemens PLM Software also recommends
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 that [K] is a symmetric matrix.

9.65 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 OPT ≠ ‘WHOLE’ means A is a square or diagonal matrix (real or complex).

OPT = ’WHOLE’ means A is a rectangular matrix (real or complex).
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, only the real part is extracted) and raise the
elements to the exponent POWER.
‘SQUARE’ Extract the diagonal elements of square matrix A into diagonal

matrix B (if A is complex, extract only the real part) and raise the
elements to the exponent POWER.
’WHOLE’ Copy rectangular matrix A into rectangular matrix B and

raise the elements to the exponent POWER. If A is complex
and POWER<>1.0, extract only the real part. However, if
POWER=1.0, B contains the magnitude of the elements.
’MAGCOL’ Extract the magnitude of the diagonal elements of square matrix

A into vector B and raise the elements to the exponent POWER.
’MAGSQ’ Extract the magnitude of the diagonal elements of square matrix

A into diagonal matrix B and raise the elements to the exponent
POWER.

’CMPCOL’ Extract the diagonal elements of complex square matrix A into

complex vector B.
’CMPSQ’ Extract the diagonal elements of complex square matrix A into

complex diagonal matrix B.
POWER Input-real single precision-default=1. Exponent to which the real part or the
magnitude of each element is raised. See Remarks.
Remarks:
1. OPT = ’COLUMN’ or ’SQUARE’ provides exactly the same functions, except that 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, all nonzero terms of [A] produce unit terms in [B]. Zero terms in [A] produces zero
terms in [B]. This is a means for producing Boolean matrices. [A] can be either real or complex.
If POWER = 1.0, [B] is a real matrix with terms that are the absolute value of the terms of [A]. If
[A] is complex, [B] contains the magnitude of the terms of [A].
3. For fractional values of POWER and OPT = ’WHOLE’, all elements must be nonnegative. 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.
6. For OPT='MAGCOL', [B] is a real vector obtained by extracting the magnitude of the diagonal
terms of [A] and raising them to the exponent POWER. For OPT='MAGSQ', [B] is a real diagonal
matrix obtained by extracting the magnitude of the diagonal terms of [A] and raising them to the
exponent POWER. If POWER=0, all nonzero diagonal terms of [A] produce unit terms in [B].
Zero terms in [A] produce zero terms in [B].
Examples:
1. Extract the diagonal terms from LOO and KOO, form the ratio of factor diagonal to diagonal
terms, and print terms less than 10-3.

3. USET, SIL, GPL, GPLD, and SILD can be purged if USETD, DLT, and EED are purged.
9.89 DRMH1
Converts data recovery tables to matrices and associated directory tables
Converts data recovery tables (for example, displacements, stresses, strains, forces, SPCforces, and
MPCforces) to matrices and associated directory tables. Similar to the DRMS1 module.
Format:
DRMH1 OFP1,OFP2,OFP3,OFP4/
TOFP1,MOFP1,TOFP2,MOFP2,TOFP3,MOFP3,TOFP4,MOFP4/
NCOL/NULLROW/TRL5T1/TRL5T2/TRL5T3/TRL5T4 $
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 (that is; subcases, modes, time

steps or frequencies) desired in the output matrices. By default, all data records
are converted into the output matrices. If NCOL is less than the number of
data records in the input table, 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
TRL5Ti Output-integer-default=0. Specifies value for the fifth word in TOFPi‘s trailer.
Remarks:
1. DRMH1 is a similar to the DRMS1 module except that only the linear quantities (for example,
axial stress) are output to the matrix. However, if NULLROW=0, null rows are inserted for the
nonlinear quantities (for example, margin-of-safety).
2. DRMH1 converts tables with complex numbers to a matrix. However, the matrix contains
complex numbers. As a result, only the item codes specified in the real side of the plot code
tables are utilized.
3. The DRMH3 module performs the inverse operation: convert matrices into OFP tables
Example:
In SOL 108, we want to double the stress output in the OES1 table.

USET DOF set definition table for external superelements.
Output Data Blocks:
PARTV Partitioning vector.
Parameters:

9.91 DRMH3
Partitions tables for each superelement
Converts data recovery matrices and associated directory tables (DRMH1 module outputs) to
SORT1 formatted tables suitable for printing by the OFP module or processing by other modules; for
example, DDRMM and SDR3.

Format:
DRMH3 TOFP1,MOFP1,TOFP2,MOFP2,TOFP3,MOFP3,TOFP4,MOFP4,
OL,CASECC/
OFP1,OFP2,OFP3,OFP4/
APP/DTM1/DTM2/DTM3/DTM4 $
Input Data Blocks:
TOFPi Directory table for MOFPi
MOFPi Matrix form of the i-th output table
frequency response frequency output list. Output by FRLG, TRLG, CEAD, and
READ. May also be output by MODACC, if truncated via the OFREQ and OTIME
Output Data Blocks:
OFPi Output table in SORT1 format. Identical in format to data blocks created by the
SDR2 module.
Parameters:
APP Input-character-default=‘STATICS’ Analysis type. Allowable types are:

‘STATICS’ : statics
‘REIG’ : normal modes
‘CEIGEN’ : complex modes
‘FREQRESP’: frequency response
‘TRANRESP’: transient response
DTMi Input-integer-default=0. Mode acceleration based displacement matrix flag.

If DTMi<>0, MOPFi is a mode acceleration based displacement matrix
and, therefore, velocities and accelerations are not 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, all input data blocks are converted. Otherwise, the inputs are 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 occurs:

Chapter
Chapter 9: 9: DMAP
DMAP Module
If the number of rows (output quantities; for example, stresses) does not match, a warning
message is printed with the identification of the matrix and table name.
If the number of columns (for example, subcases or mode) does not match, a warning message
is printed and the module continues. This allows you to combine modal results using any desired
method into a single set of results (or more) and not be required to modify the table.
Example:
See the “DRMH1” module description.
9.92 DRMS1
Data recovery by mode superposition, Phase 1
To compute output transformation matrices for displacements, SPC forces, stresses, and element
forces. The input data blocks are the type generated by the SDR2 module and formatted for the

NCOL $
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 (that is; 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, 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 cannot be given linear combination
operations, such as margins of safety and principal stresses. This irrelevant data is 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 have as many columns as the number of modes or loading
conditions specified in PARAM, NCOL. Each column contains all the relevant components of
GRIDs (T1, T2, and so on) or elements (σx, σy, and so on) 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
– Natural frequencies (fn)
• RECORD 2 - Identification of the rows, providing:

– Type code of points or elements
– Identification number of points or elements
– Number of components of the point or element retained in the associated matrix
– Starting row number of the point or element with reference to the associated matrix. See
the OES, OEF, OUG, and OQG table descriptions in “+”.
• Matrix trailer output, indicating the size of the associated matrix

the DOPTPRM Bulk Data entry and stored in the OPTPRM data block.

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 that generate a new stiffness matrix,
mass matrix, load vector, and so on, while taking into account the design variable perturbations,
that is, K + DELTAK, M + DELTAM, and so on. These calculations are completed by generating
an EST for all elements. These ESTs are referred to by the design variables and are 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, and so on. 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 and so on.
2. If central difference is requested, 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,,,/
ESTDVP,MPTX,EPTX,TABEVP,,,,/
S,N,PROPOPT/DELTAB $
IF ( CDIFX=‘YES’) THEN $
DELTABX=-DELTAB $
DSABO ECTS,EPTS,EST,DTOS2,ETT,DIT,MPTS,,,/

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. Therefore many of
the inputs, outputs, and data blocks are qualified by superelement and/or analysis type. See
subDMAP DESCON for an example.

Data block name equivalence
Attaches a second name to an existing data block.
Format:
EQUIVX DBP/DBS/PARM $

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
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 PARM < 0, 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, Siemens PLM
Software recommends 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:
Status with PARM < 0
DBP prior to EQUIVX DBS prior to EQUIVX DBS after EQUIVX
Generated Any Equivalenced
Purged or Not Generated Any Purged and not equivalenced
Status with PARM ≥ 0
DBP prior to EQUIVX DBS prior to EQUIVX DBS after EQUIVX
Generated Not Equivalenced Unchanged
Generated Equivalenced Purged and Not Generated
Purged or Not Generated Any Unchanged
4. If DBS is also declared on the FILE DBS=APPEND statement, User Warning Message 81 is
issued. If the EQUIVX.../DBS statement is executed only once and is not re-executed in the
DMAP loop, the message can be safely ignored. However, if the EQUIVX statement is potentially
re-executed, it should be replaced with the DELETE and COPY module.
For example,
FILE ESTNCH=APPEND $

EQUIVX ESTNL/ESTNCH/-1 $
should be replaced with:

FILE ESTNCH=APPEND $
DELETE /ESTNCH,,,, $
COPY ESTNL/ESTNCH $
Examples:
Data blocks A and B reside on the same DBset.
EQUIVX A/B/ALWAYS $
A and B are equivalenced.

EQUIVX A/B/NEVER $
The equivalence is broken, and B is deleted.

10.15 FBS
Matrix forward/backward substitution
Solves 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 $
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.
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, FBS uses the sparse method. The default decomposition
and FBS method is sparse. There are also submethods (FBSOPT<>0) which apply only 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 are 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 can be used for FBS
method selection (non-sparse only). If the FBSOPT keyword is not used, the program selects the
FBS method, which results in the lower sum of CPU and I/O time.

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
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.
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, FBS solves [L][U] = ±[BT.
If n=1, FBS solves [X]T[L][U] = ±[B]T.

10.16 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 that the data block is to be saved for possible looping in DMAP program
APPEND Same as SAVE. 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 can appear anywhere in subDMAP. It is also a local declaration; that is, it must be
declared in all subDMAPs where the SAVE, APPEND, or OVRWRT is needed.
2. A data block name can appear only once in all FILE statements within a subDMAP; otherwise,
the first appearance determines 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. Siemens PLM Software also
recommends that the APPEND keyword not be applied to data blocks that appear as output on
the EQUIVX module. See the “EQUIVX” 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,,I,N,COUNT=1 $

Remarks:
1. GPFDR creates the grid point force balance table for a user-selected set of points. This table lists
the forces acting at each selected point due to element constraints, single-point constraints, and
applied loads. Also listed is the sum total of these forces which represents the balance in an
opposite direction due to multipoint constraints, general elements, round-off errors, and other
nonlisted sources. Subtotals for element sets and element types are also provided.
2. GPFDR creates the element strain energy table for a user-selected set of elements. These
selected elements are listed by type with their strain energy, percent of total strain energy with
respect to all elements, and strain energy density. The strain energy is computed by one of the
following equations:
If XFLAG=0 (default):
Equation 10-2.
If XFLAG=1:
Equation 10-3.

where {u1e} is the displacement for the first subcase or mode, and
where {uie} is the displacement for the i-th subcase or mode.
3. The strain energy density is computed by dividing the strain energy by the element volume. The
total energy is computed by summing the element strain energies of all elements for which
stiffness matrices exist. General elements are not included.

Remarks:
1. YS0 and YS can be purged.
2. For the most reliable identification and constraint of singularities on independent

degrees-of-freedom connected multipoint constraints or rigid elements, GPSP should be
executed after MCE1 and MCE2. KNN and KMM should then be specified for the first two inputs
and ‘KMM’should be specified for MPCMETH. For example, from subDMAP SEKR0:
UPARTN USET0,KGG/KMM,,,/‘G‘/‘M‘/‘N’$
MCE2 USET0,GM,KGG,,,/KNN,,, $
GPSP KNN,KMM,...
...S,N,NGERR/‘KMM’$
If KMM is purged, some singular rotational independent degrees-of-freedom cannot be identified

unless all rotations at a given point are independent.
3. If GPSP is executed before MCE1 and MCE2, KGG and RMG should be specified. Also, the
default for MPCMETH should be used.
GPSP KGG,RMG,...
If RMG is purged, singular independent degrees-of-freedom connected to multipoint constraints

or rigid elements are not identified or constrained.

4. ACON should be set to -1 if processing a superelement.

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
3. GPWG calculates the masses, centers of gravity, and inertias of the general mathematical model
of the structure. The data are extracted from the [Mgg] 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.
4. Because of the scalar mass effects, the total mass can have directional properties, and the center
of gravity cannot be a unique location. This effect is shown in the output by giving for each of
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 inertia terms are calculated cannot 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 are equal, the center of gravity is unique, and the axes of the
inertia terms intersect at the center of gravity.

Input Data Blocks:
QHJL Aero transformation matrix between h and j sets
CSTMA Table of aerodynamic coordinate system transformation matrices for g-set and
ks-set grid points
PHF Frequency response load matrix in the h-set (modal)

Output Data Blocks:
PHF1 Frequency response load matrix in the h-set (modal) combined with gust loads
WJ Gust matrix
QHJK Aero transformation matrix between h and j sets
PFP Frequency response load matrix in the p-set combined with gust loads
Parameters:
NOGUST Output-integer-no default. Gust load flag. Set to -1 if no gust loads exist;
otherwise set to 1.
BOV Input-real-default=0.0. Conversion from frequency to reduced frequency.
Q Input-real-default=0.0. Dynamic pressure.
Remarks:
1. If DIT is purged, GUST returns (setting NOGUST = - 1).
2. CSTMA can be purged.
3. Often the shape (time dependence) of the gust is unknown, except for certain statistical
information, for example, 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 is 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:
It is proportional to the cosine of the dihedral angle for any panel.
There is a time delay of amount X/U for the arrival at any point. (X is streamwise coordinate.)

NDDLNAM2/NDDLNAM3/NDDLNAM4/NDDLNAM5/S,N,HNAME1/S,N,HNAME2/
S,N,HNAME3/S,N,HNAME4/S,N,HNAME5 $

Output Data Blocks:
DBi Data blocks to be input from the FORTRAN unit
Parameters:
ITAPE Input-integer-default = 0. ITAPE controls the status of the unit before INPUTT2
attempts to extract any data blocks. The following controls are available.
ITAPE value Action
+n Skip forward n data blocks before reading.
0 Data blocks are read starting at the current position.
-1 Rewind before reading, position tape past label (LABL).
-3 Print data block names and rewind before reading (checks LABL).
IUNIT Input-integer-no default. IUNIT is the FORTRAN unit number from which the
data blocks are to be read. Siemens PLM Software does not recommend using
IUNIT = 0.
LABL Input-character-default = ’XXXXXXXX’. LABL is the label on the FORTRAN unit.

A check of the label may or may not be performed based on the value of ITAPE as
indicated in the following table.
ITAPE value Tape label checked
+n No
0 No
-1 Yes
-3 Yes (Warning Check)
NDDLNAMi Input-character-default = blank. NDDL names corresponding to DB1 through DB5.

If DBi is a matrix, then the corresponding NDDLNAMi should be ‘MATRIX’.
HNAMEi Output-character-default = blank. Names of the data block as they appear in

the OP2 file being read.
Remarks:
1. Any or all of the output data blocks can be purged. Only nonpurged data blocks are taken
from the tape. The data blocks are 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. Siemens PLM Software recommends using the ASSIGN FMS statement for assigning the
FORTRAN unit. Certain FORTRAN units are reserved, see “Making File Assignments” in the NX
Nastran Installation and Operations Guide for a listing of reserved FORTRAN units.
3. Data blocks are 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,
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.
6. If the NDDLNAMi is left blank, then the corresponding DMAP name (DB1 through DB5) is
assumed to be the NDDL-defined name.
Example:
INPUTT2 /GEOM2,BGPDT,,,/-1/25/'NX6.0'/'GEOM2'/'BGPDT' $
10.76 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 can 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
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, BIGMAT is automatically 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.
• For example, in the nonsparse format and binary format (ASSIGN FORM=UNFORMATTED),
each matrix can be created (assumed on FORTRAN unit 8) as follows:
Record 1-four word record
WRITE(8) NCOL,NROW,NF,NTYPE
Record 2,3,and so on
WRITE(8) ICOL,IROW,NW,(X(I),I=1,NW)
• If the ASCII format (ASSIGN FORM=FORMATTED) and the nonsparse format is desired,
each matrix must be created as follows:
Record 1
WRITE(8,100) NCOL,NROW,NF,NTYPE
100 FORMAT(4I8)
Record 2,3, and so on

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 NX Nastran "util" directory contains a utility subroutine called MAKIDS in a file called
mattst.f (or .for) which writes a matrix into the format suitable for INPUTT4. (See the NX
Nastran Installation and Operations Guide.)

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
• 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 are properly handled if they are input).
3. Siemens PLM Software recommends using the ASSIGN FMS statement for assigning the
FORTRAN unit. Selection of a proper value for IUNIT is machine dependent. If the ASSIGN
statement is not provided, 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 the NX Nastran 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.
5. Factor matrices from DECOMP and DCMP (matrix forms 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, and 15) cannot
be processed by INPUTT4.
6. If you select any of the options for endianness using the ASSIGN FMS statement, the resulting
files are Fortran-readable only on systems that have the same endianness.
10.77 INTERR
Generates modal components of base motion from a response spectrum
Format:
INTERR CASECC,DIT,DYNAMIC,ZETAH,FN,SPECSEL,PSI/

Input Data Blocks:
None.
Output Data Blocks:
None.
Parameters:
PRGNAME Input-character-no default. Name of external program.
IRTN Output-integer-default=0. External program return code. -1 indicates failure.
NOINT Input-integer-default=0. Number of integer value inputs.

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
NOREAL Input-integer-default=0. Number of real value inputs.
NOCMPX Input-integer-default=0. Number of complex value inputs.
NOCHAR Input-integer-default=0. Number of character value inputs.
NOUNIT Input-integer-default=0. Number of Fortran input units.
INTi Input-integers-default=0. Integer values.
REALi Input-real-default=-1.0. Real values.
CMPXi Input-complex-default=(-1.0,0.0). Complex values.
CHARi Input-character-default=‘NULLNULL’ Character values.
IUNITi Input-character-default=0. Fortran unit numbers.
Remarks:
1. The external program identified by PRGNAME is passed arguments from NX 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 NX Nastran‘s data structures. PRGNAME cannot be more
than 8 characters long.
2. NX 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 automatically passes the physical filenames associated with unit numbers to the
external program. These filenames are passed at positions 31 through 34.
6. Errors encountered in ISHELL do not terminate the NX 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 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’$
10.79 LAMX

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
LMAT Normal modes eigenvalue summary table converted to a matrix. See Remark 3.
Parameters:
NLAM Integer-input-default=0. The maximum number of modes in the output data block
LAMAX. If NLAM = 0, the number of modes in LAMAX is the same as that of
LAMA or FREQMASS. If NLAM = -1, the matrix LMAT is produced instead.
RESFLG Integer-input-default=0. Subheading print flag used by the OFP module for
residual vector eigenvalues.
1 ”Print “BEFORE AUGMENTATION OF RESIDUAL VECTORS
2 Print “AFTER AUGMENTATION OF RESIDUAL VECTORS”
0 No print
Remarks:
1. The EMAT matrix has three rows and one column for each mode which are used to modify the
frequency and generalized mass.
Figure 10-1.
• If R3j ≥ 0, the frequency f0j and generalized mass m0j are extracted from LAMA and modified
accordingly:
o frequency: fj = Rij + (1.0 + R2j)f0jfixed shift: R1j = shift and R2j = −1.0 fractional change:
R1j = 0.0 and R2j = fraction
o Generalized mass:
• Then eigenvalue, radians, and generalized stiffness are based on the modified frequency
and generalized mass:
radians: ωj = 2πfj
eigenvalue: λj = ω2j

generalized stiffness: Kj = λj mj
• If R3j = −1, mode j is not copied to LAMAX.
• If R1j = 0, R2j = 0 and R3j = 0, mode j is copied from LAMA to LAMAX without modification.
2. The FREQMASS matrix has three rows and one column for each mode. The first row
contains the frequencies and the third row contains the generalized masses. The second
row is null. Then eigenvalue, radians, and generalized stiffness are computed as in Remark
3.
3. In the LMAT matrix, each row corresponds to a mode. Each column corresponds to
eigenvalue, radians, frequency, generalized mass, and generalized stiffness. Number of Modes:
5.
Examples:
1. For LAMA (real) tables:
• Assume that 10 modes are defined in the LAMA table. We now want to modify the frequency
data of the LAMA table in the following way:

T DTI table input
P2 = 0 generate all terms

≠ 0 generate only diagonal terms
P3 Number of rows
P5 Number of the record in field 3 of the DTI entry used to define real coefficients
P5<0 Coefficient taken from DTI trailer:

C(t1) = float (t2) all trailer items are integer.
P5=0 Data pairs from record 0 (data block header record) are interpreted as
definingC(ν1) = (ν2)(ν1) is integer; (ν2) is real
P5>0 Data pairs from record P5 interpreted as above.
P6 Number of the record in field 3 of the DTI entry used to define imaginary coefficients D1
P6 ≤ 0 No coefficients defined.
P6 > 0 Data pairs from record P6 interpreted as above where D(ν1) = (ν2).
P7 Form of output matrix
P7 ≤ 0 Form chosen to be 1 or 2, depending on P3 and P4.
P7 > 0 Form set to P7.
P8 Coefficient print flag
P8 = 0 Do not print coefficient lists.
P8 ≠ 0 Print coefficients lists C and D from the DTI input. (Print D list only if
P6 > 0.)
The equation used to determine the coefficient of the (l,J)th term of the output matrix is:

Equation 10-4.
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 can 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.
Zero coefficients need not be defined.

Parameters:
P3 Number of rows
P4 Type of elements in the matrix:
1 Real single precision
2 Real double precision
3 Complex single precision
4 Complex double precision
P5 Density of the matrix times 10000
P6 Average string length
P7 Total number of strings in the matrix
P8 Number of null columns
P9 Average bandwidth
Remarks:
1. The default value for parameters P2, P3, P4, P5, and P7 is zero. Therefore, in order to
successfully create the matrix, nonzero values for these parameters must be input.
2. The average string length is internally computed based on the other properties of the matrix. P6
is used only as a check. If the value computed is not the same as P6, a user warning message to
that effect is issued.
3. In order to verify the properties of the output matrix, set DIAG 8 and check the matrix trailer
information.

Remarks:
The supersets formed by the union of other sets have the following definitions:

1. If the value specified for COLNAM is not one of the names shown in Remark 1, the columns are
labeled 1,2,3..., and so on, without grid and component labels.
2. If the value specified for R is not one of the names shown in Remark 1, the terms in each column
are labeled “1 H”, “2 H”, “3 H”, and so on, without grid and component labels. You must know
which sets correspond to the rows and columns of the matrix to be printed. This is usually
apparent from the DMAP name of the matrix data block.
3. When using Format 1, this module cannot be scheduled until after GPSP because data blocks
generated by GPSP are required inputs. (This module can be scheduled after GP4 if USET0 is
specified for input to MATGPR instead of USET.) When using Format 2, this module cannot be
scheduled until after DPD because data blocks generated by DPD are required inputs. When
using Format 3, MATGPR must be scheduled after the APD module.
4. If MATRIX is purged, no printing is done.
5. The rows and columns of A must correspond to the order of the degrees-of-freedom defined in
GPL, USET, SIL, BGPDT, and so on; that is, internal sequence.

Output Data Block:
O1 A matrix consisting of columns copied from input matrix I1, starting with matrix I1
column STARTCOL (P2), in increments of COLINC (P4), with the last column
copied being ≤ ENDCOL (P3), depending on the relative values of P2, P4, and P3.
O2 If matrix O2 is specified, the columns of I1 not copied into O1 are copied into O2.

COLINC Input-integer-default=1. Column increment. Copy every COLINC‘th column

between STARTCOL and ENDCOL.

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
Remarks:
1. If ENDCOL is zero, ENDCOL=STARTCOL.
2. If COLINC is entered as 0 (or is left out), it reverts to the default of 1, and every column between
STARTCOL and ENDCOL is copied.
Examples:
1. Copy the seventh column from A and call it A7.
MATMOD A,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/A7, /1/7 $
2. Copy the third, fourth, and fifth columns from A into matrix A345.
MATMOD A,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/A345, /1/3/5 $
3. Copy columns 2 and 4 of matrix ABCD into matrix XYZ, and columns 1, 3, 5, and remaining
columns of same matrix ABCD into matrix KLMN.
MATMOD ABCD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/XYZ, KLMN /1/2/5/2 $
Option P1 = 2
Filter small magnitude terms of a matrix.
Format:
MATMOD I1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/O1,/2/PURGE///FILTER $
Input Data Block:
Output Data Block:
O1 A copy of I1 with terms smaller in magnitude than P5 set to 0.0
Parameter:
PURGE Input-integer-default=0. If PURGE=0, and the input matrix has no nonzero terms,
the output matrix is purged. If PURGE≠ 0, and the input matrix has no nonzero
terms, the output matrix is null.
FILTER Input-real-default=0.0. Value of filter. Terms in I1 with an absolute magnitude less

than the absolute value of FILTER are set to zero.
Example:
Print terms in A smaller in magnitude than 100.0.

ADD A,AFILTER/ASMALL//-1 $
MATPRN ASMALL// $

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:
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 (for example, 136 means that degrees of freedom 1, 3, and
6 for each grid point are set to zero).
Remarks:
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, and so on, of matrix I1. You should exercise caution when
selecting this option on a resequenced matrix.
Example:
Zero out degrees of freedom 1, 2, and 6 in stiffness matrix KGG.
MATMOD KGG,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/KGG1,/3/126 $
EQUIVX KGGQ/KGG/ALWAYS $
Option P1 = 4

matrix is replicated for each grid point.
Format:

MATMOD I1,SIL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/O1,/4 $
Form 2
MATMOD I1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/O1,/4/LUSET $

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
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, 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.
2. If SIL is not purged, LUSET is ignored. I1 is inserted at the rows of every grid point. Scalar
and extra points are ignored.
Option P1 = 5
Accepts a DMI matrix six rows by six columns and outputs either a g-row by g-column matrix where the
input matrix is inserted at the diagonal 6x6 of each grid point, or a g-row by g-column transform matrix.
Format:
Form 1 (Inserts 6x6 matrix along diagonal)
MATMOD I1,SIL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/O1,/5/LUSET/0 $
Form 2 (generates specified coordinate system to basic coordinate system transformation matrix)
MATMOD CSTM,SIL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/01,/5/LUSET/P3 $
Form 3 (generates a global-to-basic coordinate system transformation matrix)
MATMOD CSTM,SIL,BGPDT,,,,,,,,,,,,,/01,/5//-1 $
Input Data Blocks:
I1 Any six-row by six-column matrix (real or complex)
SIL Scalar index list table output from 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.
This parameter is valid for Forms 1 and 2 only.
P3 Integer-input-default=0. Coordinate system identification number. This parameter

is valid for Form 3 only.
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 is 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, 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 is 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 using only one
coordinate system (global coordinate system is the same at each grid point). Transform KGG
using TRANS.

Input Data Blocks:
I1 Any matrix of g-rows arranged in external (ascending by GRID ID) sequence.

(Real or complex).
I2 EQEXIN table from module GP1
Output Data Block:
O1 Table data block in MATPOOL format containing I1
Parameters:
PNDMIG Input-integer-default=0. If PNDMIG≠0, I1 is printed in DMIG format to the

punch output file (.pch).
USENAM Input-integer-default=0. If USENAM≠0 and PNDMIG≠0, I1 is printed using

the name defined in MATNAM.
TYPOUT Input-integer-default=0. Default is to set DMIG precision to machine

precision. The default can be overridden by specifying:
1 Real single-precision output
2 Real double-precision output
3 Complex single-precision output
4 Complex double-precision output
CCHAR Input-character-default=blank. Continuation characters to be used for DMIG

output. If nonblank continuation characters are specified, a maximum of
9999 DMIG entries can be printed for any single matrix. Only the first two
characters of the nonblank mnemonic are used for the continuation string.
MATNAM Input-character-default=blank. Matrix name to use for I1. Only valid when
USENAM≠0 and PNDMIG≠0.
Remarks:
1. I1 must be a g-row size matrix arranged in external sequence (see PARAM, OLDSEQ, and
MATGEN Option 9). The rows are always labeled with the external sequence (grid or scalar IDs
and component numbers). If the input matrix form is 1 (square) or 6 (symmetric) the columns are
also labeled with the external sequence, and the IFO entry on the generated DMIG entry is set
to 1 or 6. If the form is 6, only the terms in one triangle are output. If the input matrix form is 2

(rectangular form), the columns are labeled sequentially, starting with unity. The IFO is set to 9. If
the form is not 1, 2, or 6, the module returns with no output.
2. EQEXIN table must not be purged.
Example:

DMAP Module
Parameters:
UBIT Input-integer-default=0. Obsolete method for set selection. For a more user-friendly
method, use SETSTRi. In order to select specific sets for UBIT, add the corresponding
decimal equivalent numbers from the table below. For example, sets R, O, and M,
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.

SA 131072
E 2048
SB 1024
SG 512
R 8
O 4
BF 2
M 1
SETFLG Input-integer-default=0. If SETFLG ≠ 0, SETFLG selects a set of grid point

identification numbers of which all degrees of freedom associated with each point
are assigned a value of 1.0 in the corresponding row of CP. If no SET command
is found, the UBIT parameter is used.
If SETFLG>0, the PARTN=SID Case Control command selects the SET
command.
If SETFLG<0, absolute value of SETFLG selects the SET command.
NOCP Output-integer. NOCP is set to -1 if the partitioning vector is null or cannot be

generated. Otherwise, it is 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 can be purged.
2. UBIT entry must be a legitimate value.
Example:

Input Data Block:
IM Any matrix
Output Data Blocks:
SORTLIST Vector consisting of the row numbers of the original positions of the sorted terms
SORTBOOL Square matrix containing unity at a row position in the column associated with the
sorted row terms
Parameters:
P1 Input/output-integer-no default. On output, P1=-1 if the input matrix is purged or

both output data blocks are purged.
COLNUM Input-integer-default=0. Selects the column number of the input matrix that is
sorted to produce SORTLIST and SORTBOOL. Default selects the first column.
PRESORT Output-integer-default=0 Pre-sort flag. Set to -1 if column is already sorted.
SORTOPT Input-integer-default=0. Sort option specification.
-2 Absolute value in descending order
-1 Algebraic value in descending order
0 Implies SORTOPT=1 if IM is real, and SORTOPT=2 if IM is complex.
1 Algebraic value in ascending order

2 Absolute value in ascending order
NKEYS Input-integer-default=1. Duplicate value sort option specification.
1 Single key sort
2 Double key sort to maintain original order of terms in case of duplicate

terms
Remarks:
For complex matrices, only SORTOPT=2 or -2 is allowed.
Example:
Given the input matrix, IM, generate an algebraic ascending order sort. The input matrix and its
sorted order (algebraically ascending) are:
IM =
The MATMOD call looks like this:
P1=35 $
MATMOD IM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/LIST,BOOL/S,N,P1//S,N,SORTED////2 $
and the output matrix LIST for NKEYS=2 contains
LIST =
For NKEYS=1, it is equally likely that the indices for equal values are in a different order. For
example, if the MATMOD call statement were
P1=35 $
MATMOD IM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/LIST,BOOL/S,N,P1//S,N,SORTED////1 $
the output matrix LIST for NKEYS=1 contain either

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
LIST =
or
LIST =
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 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 is 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.

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
Parameters:
IVNIT Input-integer-default=0. Fortran unit number. If this parameter is negative, an

echo of the DMI Bulk Data entries generated is printed on the FORTRAN unit
given by the absolute value of PRINTOPT.
Ni Input-character-default=blank. Continuation entry prefix. Used to form a unique

continuation string for the DMI Bulk Data entries. For example, if Ni=’xx’, this
produces continuations of the form (xx 1), (xx 2), and so on. The default value
causes the blank continuation option to be used. See Remark 4 if explicit
continuations are desired.
Remarks:
1. The nonzero elements of each matrix are punched on double-field DMI entries as shown in the
example below. The name of the matrix is obtained from the header record of the data block. Field
10 contains the three-character parameter value in columns 74 through 76 and an incremented
integer record count in columns 77 through 80 if nondefault values are used for the Ni parameters.
2. Double precision matrices are converted to single precision. Only the real part of complex
matrices are used.
3. All matrices are output on double-field entries in single precision.
4. If Ni is specified, Ni must be different for each corresponding input matrix. Also, the maximum
number of records that can 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 are punched onto DMI Bulk Data entries.
Example:
Let the data block MAT contain the matrix

Remarks:
1. Any or all input data blocks can be purged.
2. If any data block is not a matrix, it is printed as if it were a table.
3. MATPRN prints the row index for the term that begins each line of printout.
4. MATPRN does not print out two or more consecutive lines of zeroes, but instead issues a
message of the form:
ROW POSITIONS xxxx THRU yyyy NOT PRINTED – ALL = 0.0.
5. If DIAG 30 is set by the DIAGON function before MATPRN (see Example 3), and turned off after
MATPRN, most of the digits of the internal representations are printed. Normally, the output is
truncated to five or six digits.
6. For large, sparse matrices with scattered terms, Siemens PLM Software recommends using
either the MATPRT or MATGPR modules.

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)

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
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 is
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] are produced by
PARTN using {RP}, {CP}, FORM, SYM and TYPE from [A], MERGE produces [A]. The operation
of MERGE is dependent upon the partitioning vectors, {CP} and {RP}, and the symmetry flag,
SYM.
Figure 10-5.
Let [A] be an m by n matrix, {CP} be an nx1 vector containing q zero elements; and {RP} be a
mx1 vector containing p zero elements. Partition [A11] consists of all elements Aij of [A] for which
CPj = RPi = 0.0 in the same order as they appear in [A]. Partition [A12] consists of all elements Aij
of [A] for which CPj≠ 0.0 and RPi = 0.0 in the same order as they appear in [A]. Partition [A21]
consists of all elements Aij of [A] for which CPj = 0.0 and RPi ≠ 0.0 in the same order as they
appear in [A]. The following describes the operations:
Let NC = number of nonzero terms in {CP}

NR = number of nonzero terms in {RP}
NROWA = number of rows in [A]
NCOLA = number of columns in [A]

Case 1: {CP} is purged and SYM ≥ 0:

MERGE A11,A21,,,,RP/A/1 $
[A11] is a (NROWA-NR) by NCOLA matrix.

[A21] is a NR by NCOLA matrix.
[A12] is not written.
Case 2: (RP) is purged and SYM ≥ 0:

MERGE A11,,A12,,CP,/A/1 $
[A11] is a NROWA by (NCOLA - NC) matrix.

[A12] is a NROWA by NC matrix.
Case 3: {RP} is purged and SYM < 0:

MERGE A11,A21,A12,A22,CP,/A $
[A11] is a (NROWA-NC) by (NCOLA-NC) matrix.

[A21] is a NC by (NCOLA – NC) matrix.
[A12] is a (NROWA – NR) by NC matrix.
[A22] is a NC by NC matrix.
Case 4: Neither {CP} nor {RP} are purged and SYM ≥ 0:

MERGE A11,A21,A12,A22,CP,RP/A/1 $
[A11] is a (NROWA – NR) by (NCOLA – NC) matrix.[A21]
is a NR by (NCOLA – NC) matrix.[A12] is a (NROWA –
NR) by NC matrix[A22] is a NR by NC matrix.
2. [A11], [A12], [A21], and [A22] must be unique matrices.
3. When FORM = 0, a compatible matrix [A] results as shown in the following table:
Form of [A22]
Square Rectangular Symmetric
Square Square Rectangular Rectangular
Form of [A11] Rectangular Rectangular Rectangular Rectangular
Symmetric Rectangular Rectangular Symmetric

4. Any or all of [A11], [A12], [A21], [A22] can be purged. When all are purged, this implies [A] = 0.
5. Both {RP} and {CP} cannot be purged.
Examples:
1. Let A11, A12, A21, A22, {CP} and {RP} be defined as follows:
The DMAP instruction

10.122 MODTRL
Modify trailer
Modify data block trailer data.

MODTRL DB//P1/P2/P3/P4/P5/P6 $
Input Data Block:
DB Data block with trailer that is to be modified

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
Parameters:
Pi Input-integer-default=-1. New value for i-th trailer word.
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, 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
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.
5. For table trailer contents, see the data block descriptions.
Examples:
1. Make KAA symmetric (form=6) (MPYAD labels it square (form=1)).

MPYAD GO,KOA,KAAB/KAA/1 $
MODTRL KAA////6/ $
2. Use ADD5 to change the precision of a matrix. 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 $

Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
Parameters:
T Integer-input-default = 0. Transpose flag.

T = 1, perform [A]T [B]
T = 0, perform [A][B]
SIGNAB Integer-input-default = 1. Sign of product flag.

SIGNAB = +1, perform [A] [B]
SIGNAB = -1, perform −[A][B]
SIGNC Integer-input-default = 1. Sign of [C] flag.

SIGNC = +1, add [C]
SIGNC = -1, subtract [C]
PREC Integer-input-default = 0. Precision.

PREC = 1, element of [X] are output in single precision
PREC = 2, elements of [X] are output in double precision
PREC = 0, elements of [X] are output in the precision of the computer
FORM Integer-input-default = 0. Form of [X].

FORM = 0, form of [X] is 1 (square) or 2 (rectangular)
Remarks:
1. If no matrix is to be added, [C] must be purged. [A] can be Form 3.
2. [A] and [B] can be the same data block, but both must be different from [C].
3. If [A] or [B] is purged, and [C] is purged, [X] is purged. [C] cannot be Form 3.
4. If [A] and/or [B] is purged, but [C] exists, the purged matrices are equivalent to null matrices, and
[X] are output.
5. [X] cannot be purged.
6. if the precision of the computer is double precision and B is single precision, and Methods 1, 2, 3
are deselected, PREC must be set equal to 1.
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, the method that results in the lowest CPU and I/O time is selected. If all transpose
methods are deselected, T must be equal to zero (default). If all nontranspose methods are
deselected, T must be equal to 1.

Method Storage technique MPYAD keyword

deselection value
1 Nontranspose 1 1
1 Transpose 1 2
2 Nontranspose — 4
2 Transpose — 8
3 Transpose — 32
4 Transpose — 128
1 Nontranspose A 256
1 Nontranspose B 512
1 Nontranspose C 1024
1 Nontranspose D 2048
1 Nontranspose E 4096
1 Nontranspose F 8192
1 Transpose A 16384
1 Transpose B 32768
1 Transpose C 65536
1 Transpose D 131072
1 Nontranspose 2 8388608
1 Transpose 2 16777216
1 Nontranspose 3 67108864
1 Transpose 3 134217728
• 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 then add 1 (if Nontranspose) and/or 2 (if
Transpose). This total is then subtracted from 262143. See examples below.

Chapter
Chapter 10:10:DMAP
DMAP Module
Example 1: If only Method l Nontranspose with storage techniques D, E, and F

are desired, NASTRAN MPYAD=247806 (which is obtained from
262143-(2048 + 4096 + 8192 + 1)).
Example 2: If Method 2 is also desired in Example 1, 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
can 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, MPYAD
= 1048586; computed from 1048576 + 10.
Method Storage submethod Selection value
Method StorageSubmethod SelectionValue
1 Nontranspose 1 0
1 Transpose 1 1
2 Transpose — 3
3 Transpose — 5
4 Transpose — 7
1 Nontranspose A 8
1 Nontranspose B 9
1 Nontranspose C 10
1 Nontranspose D 11
1 Nontranspose E 12
1 Nontranspose F 13
1 Transpose A 14
1 Transpose B 15
1 Transpose C 16
1 Transpose D 17

Method Storage submethod Selection value
1 Nontranspose 2 23
1 Transpose 2 24
1 Nontranspose 3 26
1 Transpose 3 27
If a Storage Submethod under Method 1 is selected in this manner, a printout of timing estimates
for the other submethods can 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, specify SPARSE = 0 or 6.
• In order to select or force one or both methods below, add l to its value(s) below.
Sparse method SPARSE keyword value
Nontranspose 2
Transpose 4
Example 1: To force the sparse nontranspose method, specify SPARSE = 3,

computed from 1 + 2.
Example 2: To force the sparse methods, specify SPARSE = 7, computed from 1

+ 2 + 4.
Note that if SPARSE = 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7, 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; for example, 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 causes 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:

Parameters:
P1 Input-character-no default
P2 Input-character-no default
P3 Output-integer-default=0
P4 Output-real-default=0.0
P5 Output-character-default=blank
Remarks:
1. Currently, P1 can be set to any character string and does not have any impact on the module’s
operation. In the future, more options will be added. Example, P1=‘DTI’.
2. P2 is the parameter whose value the user requires to be returned. This parameter can be any
of those allowed in NLCNTL bulk data entry. The entire parameter name is required. Example,
P2=’FOLLOWK’. See the NLCNTL bulk data entry for a complete list of parameter names in
the NX NASTRAN Quick Reference Guide.
3. Depending on the parameter requested, P3, P4, or P5 will need to be requested in order to return
the value of that parameter. For instance, P2=’FOLLOWK’ will require a character output variable
to be specified in P5, leaving P3 and P4 blank.
4. If the output variable is specified in the wrong location, there will be no fatal or warning and
the returned value will be incorrect. For instance, for P2=’FOLLOWK’, if an output variable is
requested in P4 (which is a real) instead of P5, then there will be no fatal or warning but P4 will
not contain the value of FOLLOWK.

Remarks:
1. NLITER updates the displacement vector for as many iterations as are necessary to attain an
equilibrium between the applied loads and the forces. NLITER calculates nonlinear forces and
follower forces which are used to obtain new displacements until a converged solution is found,
or a new stiffness matrix is necessary, or a bisection of the load step is necessary.
2. KGGNL is needed for the reduced incomplete Cholesky factorization in the iterative solver only.
Otherwise it can be purged.
3. MGG, RDEST, RECM are required only for heat transfer analysis. Otherwise, they can be purged.
4. ULLT is required only for unsymmetric stiffness. Otherwise, it can be purged.

Input Data Block:
A Any matrix (real or complex)
Output Data Block:
ANORM Normalized matrix
Parameters:
NCOL Number of columns in A
NROW Integer-output-default=0. Number of rows in A.
XNORM Real-output-default=0.0. Maximum absolute normalizing value over all columns.

11.19 OUTPUT2
Output a table or matrix into a FORTRAN readable file
Writes a table or matrix data block(s) onto a binary or "compressed ASCII" (or “neutral”) file for user
postprocessing or for subsequent input (via INPUTT2) into another NX Nastran run.

Format:
OUTPUT2 DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5//ITAPE/IUNIT/LABL/MAXR/
NDDLNAM1/NDDLNAM2/NDDLNAM3/NDDLNAM4/NDDLNAM5/HNAME1/
HNAME2/HNAME3/HNAME4/HNAME5 $
Input Data Blocks:
DBi Any data block (table or matrix) name to be output. DBi cannot be a factor
matrix (forms 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, and 15). Any or all of the input data blocks
can be purged.
Parameters:
ITAPE Input-integer-default=0. ITAPE is used to select the file positioning option as

follows:
+n Skip forward n data blocks before writing (used only if file has no label).
0 Data blocks are written starting at the current position. If this is the first
use, no label is written.
-1 Rewind IUNIT before writing, and label file.
-3 Rewind IUNIT, print data block names and write after the last data block
on IUNIT (file must have a label).
-9 Write a final EOF on IUNIT (must be used before -3 option and as last
I/O use of unit), then rewind IUNIT.
IUNIT Input-integer-no default. IUNIT is the FORTRAN unit number on which the
data blocks are to be written. Siemens PLM Software does not recommend
IUNIT=0. See Remark 7.
LABL Input-character-default = ‘XXXXXXXX’ LABL is used for file identification. The

label is written only if ITAPE=-1, and is checked only if ITAPE=-3.
MAXR Input-integer-default=2 * BUFFS IZE words. Maximum physical record size.

(See Remarks.)
NDDLNAMi Input-character-default=blank. NDDL names corresponding to DB1 through

DB5. If DBi is a matrix, the corresponding NDDLNAMi is ‘MATRIX’ (See
Remarks.)
HNAMEi Input-character-default=blank. Name of the data block as it needs to appear in

the output2 file.
Remarks:
1. A data block (table or matrix) consists of logical records:

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
• 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
the data block descriptions.
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 indicates one of the following depending on its
location in the binary file:
KEY Description
>0 The length of the next physical record. It can 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 is written to one physical record of the FORTRAN
binary file. However, the length of a logical record can exceed the maximum length of a physical
record (see MAXR parameter). If this occurs, the logical record spans more than one physical
record. In other words, the logical record is 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 can be processed as sequential data blocks.
7. Siemens PLM Software recommends the ASSIGN FMS statement (in the NX Nastran Quick
Reference Guide) for assigning the FORTRAN unit. Selection of a proper value for IUNIT
is machine dependent. See “Making File Assignments” in the NX Nastran Installation and
Operations Guide.
8. No physical record exceeds 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 “Keywords” in the NX Nastran
Installation and Operations Guide for the maximum allowable values.
9. When the neutral format option is selected via FORM=FORMATTED or an endianness conversion
is selected via FORM=LITTLEENDIAN or FORM=BIGENDIAN on the ASSIGN FMS statement
(associated with OUTPUT2 parameter IUNIT), MAXR and NDDLNAMi are interpreted as follows:

Represents the maximum physical record size (in words) on the target
machine(s) for the machine binary-formatted file. For neutral files, this
MAXR
applies to the binary file after it has been converted from neutral to binary
via the supplied conversion utility RCOUT2.
Correlates the DMAP data block name with the corresponding
NDDLNAMi NDDL-defined name. If this parameter is left blank, 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.
AXIC GEOM1 GPLS OEIGS OESNL2 OQG2
CASES GEOM1Q LAMA OEP OESNLX OSTR1
CLAMA GEOM2 MATPOOL OES1 OGPWG OSTR2
CSTMS GEOM2S MPT OES1C OGS1 OUGV1

EPT GEOM4 OEF1X OES2 OPNL1 PVT
EPTS GEOM4S OEF2 OESNL1 OQG1 USET
FOL GPDTS
In addition, all matrices defined with a TYPE DB can be neutral formatted. If a matrix is not an
NDDL data block, the NDDLNAMi=‘MATRIX’should be used. For example, to write the matrix
MYMATRIX, use
OUTPUT2 MYMATRIX,,,,//ITAPE/IUNIT/LABL/MAXR/‘MATRIX’$
Note that the neutral format is a machine-neutral format that allows the transfer of the
OUTPUT2-generated files between different machine types. See “RCOUT2” in the NX Nastran
Installation and Operations Guide for a discussion of this transfer process and the supplied
conversion utility RCOUT2.

11. OUTPUT2 files can be read using three utility subroutines provided in the utility ("util") directory.
(See “Building and Using TABTST” in the NX Nastran Installation and Operations Guide. See
Remark 12.
IOPEN Once per FORTRAN unit
IHEADR Once per data block
IREAD As many times as desired
These routines are contained 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.

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
• 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 (NX 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.
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, and so on)
Method:
IHEADR reads the name and trailer. It checks KEY lengths. It also skips the
data block header (which unfortunately can 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.

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 are transmitted. If NARY is negative, the words are
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 reached while trying to process NARY words.
IRTN = 2 End-of-file reached 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 NX Nastran
logical record spans several physical FORTRAN records, these are transparent
(no end-of-record returns) to the user.
files are fortran readable only on systems that have the same endianness.
11.20 OUTPUT4
Output matrices onto a FORTRAN readable file
Write matrices in ASCII or binary format onto a FORTRAN readable file.

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
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 are written. If IUNIT is negative, the sparse output
option is used, which means that only nonzero items in the matrix are written to
the unit. Siemens PLM Software does not recommend IUNIT = 0. See Remark 1.
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. However, if the matrix has more than 65535 rows, BIGMAT is
automatically 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 is formed as follows:
FORTRAN Format Specification: P,rEw.d

d = DIGITS
w = d + 7
r = 80/w (integer portion)
For example, if
DIGITS = 9, the format is 1P,5E16.9
or if DIGITS = 16, the format is 1P,3E23.16

Remarks:
1. Each matrix is written on IUNIT as follows:
• Record 1:

2. A record with the last column number plus +1 and at least one value in the next record is written
on IUNIT.
3. The number of words in the column, NW (or string, L), is the number of elements in the column
(or string) times the number of words per type. Number of words per type is given in the table
below. For example, a column with seven real double precision elements is 14 words long.
1 – Real single precision 1
2 – Real double precision 2
3 – Complex single precision 2
4 – Complex double precision 4
4. Siemens PLM Software recommends the ASSIGN FMS statement for assigning the FORTRAN
unit (see “Making File Assignments” in the NX Nastran Installation and Operations Guide).
Selection of a proper value for IUNlT is machine dependent.
5. If the nonsparse format (IUNIT > 0) is selected, zero terms are explicitly present after the first
nonzero term in any column until the last nonzero term.
6. Null columns are not 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
= FORMATTED 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 can be read using a utility FORTRAN subroutine called GETIDS, which is
provided in the utility directory. (See “Building and Using MATTST ” in the NX Nastran 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.
files are fortran readable only on systems having the same endianness. The only way to read
these files on the same machines is to use the INPUTT4 command.

11.24 PARTN
Matrix partition
To partition [A] into [A11], [A12], [A21] and [A22]:
Format:
PARTN A,CP,RP/A11,A21,A12,A22/SYM/TYPE/Fll/F2l/F12/F22 $
Input Data Blocks:
A Matrix to be partitioned
CP Column partitioning vector – single precision column vector
RP Row partitioning vector – single precision column vector
Output Data Blocks:
Aij Matrix partitions. See Remarks below.
Parameters:
SYM Input-integer-default=-1. SYM chooses between a symmetric partition and one

unsymmetric partition. If SYM < 0, {CP} is used as {RP}, and {RP} must be
purged. If SYM ≥ 0, {CP} and {RP} are distinct.
TYPE Input-integer-default=0. Type of output matrices. If TYPE = 0, the type of the

output matrices is the type of the input matrix [A].
Fij Input-integer-default=0. Form of [Aij]. See Remarks.

Remarks:
1. The operation of PARTN is dependent upon the partitioning vectors, CP and RP, and the
symmetry flag, SYM. The following describes the operations:
Let NC = number of nonzero terms in {CP}. NR =

number of nonzero terms in {RP}. NROWA =
number of rows in [A]. NCOLA = number of columns
in [A].
Case 1: {CP} is purged and SYM ≥ 0:

PARTN A,,RP/A11,A21,,/1 $
[A11] is a (NROWA-NR) by NCOLA matrix. [A21] is

a NR by NCOLA matrix. [A12] is not written. [A22]
is not written.
Case 2: (RP) is purged and SYM ≥ 0:

PARTN A,CP,/A11,,A12,/1 $
[A11] is a NROWA by (NCOLA – NC) matrix. [A21]

is not written. [A12] is a NROWA by NC matrix.
Case 3: {RP} is purged and SYM < 0:

PARTN A,CP,/A11,A21,A12,A22 $
[A11] is a (NROWA-NC) by (NCOLA-NC) matrix.

[A21] is a NC by (NCOLA – NC) matrix. [A12] is
a (NROWA – NR) by NC matrix. [A22] is a NC by
NC matrix.
Case 4: Neither {CP} nor {RP} are purged and SYM ≥ 0:

PARTN A,CP,RP/A11,A21,A12,A22/1 $
[A11] is a (NROWA – NR) by (NCOLA – NC) matrix.

[A21] is a NR by (NCOLA – NC) matrix. [A12] is
a (NROWA – NR) by NC matrix. [A22] is a NR by
NC matrix.
2. Any of all output data blocks can be purged.
3. If [A] is purged, PARTN causes all output data blocks to be purged.
4. If {CP} is purged, [A] is partitioned as follows:
5. If {RP} is purged and SYM ≥ 0, [A] is partitioned as follows:

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
6. If {RP} is purged and SYM < 0, [A] is partitioned as follows:
where {CP} is used as both the row and column partitioner.
7. {RP} and {CP} cannot both be purged.
8.
Let [A] be an m by n matrix, {CP} be an nx1 vector containing q zero elements; and {RP} be
an mx1 vector containing p zero elements.
Partition [A11] consists of all elements Aij of [A] for which CPj = RPi = 0.0 in the same order
as they appear in [A].
Partition [A12] consists of all elements Aij of [A] for which CPj ≠ 0.0 and RPi = 0.0 in the same
order as they appear in [A].
Partition [A21] consists of all elements Aij of [A] for which CPj = 0.0 and RPi ≠ 0.0 in the same
order as they appear in [A].
9. The default action for F11, F21, F12, and F22 allows the program to automatically select the
appropriate form.
Examples:
1. Let [A], {CP} and {RP} be defined as follows:
The DMAP instruction

PARTN A,CP,RP/A11,A21,A12,A22/1 $
creates the real matrices:

PARTN A,CP,/A11,A21,A12,A22/1 $ RP,CP distinct
the resulting matrices would be

PARTN A, ,RP/A11,A21,A12,A22/1 $
the resulting matrices would be
4. If
and the DMAP instruction was written as

PARTN A,RP,/A11,A21,A12,A22/-1 $
the resulting partitions would be

c Input-integer-default=0. If c=1, parameters are sorted alphabetically.
SUBDMAP Input-character-default=blank. The name of a subDMAP.
Remarks:
1. As a parameter printer, use a = 0. There are two options:
• If b is equal to a parameter name enclosed by quotation marks, the value of that parameter
in the subDMAP identified by SUBDMAP is printed. b must be a non-NDDL parameter
(see TYPE statement).
Example:
PRTPARM //0/‘LUSET’$

• If b = ‘XXXXXXXX‘, the values of all variable and constant parameters in the Variable
Parameter Table of the subDMAP identified by SUBDMAP are printed.
Examples:
PRTPARM // $ Unsorted
PRTPARM ////1 $ Sorted
If no value is entered for SUBDMAP, the parameter value or values (depending on b) is for the
current subDMAP. Otherwise, the value or values is for the subDMAP identified by SUBDMAP.
2. As a DMAP message printer, parameter is nonzero.
3. Meaningless values of a, b, and SUBDMAP result in diagnostic messages from PRTPARM.
11.34 PURGEX

Parameter:
PARM Input-integer-default=0.
< Data blocks are deleted and marked empty

0
≥ No action is taken
0
Remarks:
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, any existing data is deleted and the data
block is marked as empty. If the data block has not been previously output from a module, it is simply
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.
Example:
Flag data block MGGX as empty to avoid the execution of the EMA module on restart.

CASECC Table of Case Control Command images
Output Data Block:
PVTS Parameter Variable Table from Case Control merged with the Bulk Data input
parameters
Parameter:
LOADFLT Logical-input-default=TRUE. If LOADFLT = TRUE, all parameters that appear in

the Parameter Defaults Table but do not appear in the PVT or CASECC data
block, are added to the PVTS data block. See 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 can be purged. If the input data block is purged, the user
input parameter settings do not contain parameters from the input. If both input data blocks are
purged, and LOADFLT is FALSE, no values are entered.
3. The output data block can be purged. The PVT module always internally updates the user input
parameters. The output data block is primarily used for restart purposes.
• First, the default parameters are added if requested.
• Next, the PVT user input parameters from the Bulk Data Section are set.
• Next, the CASECC user input parameters from Case Control above the subcase level
override any settings of Bulk Data parameters of the same name. Any additional Case
Control above the subcase level parameters are set.

• Lastly, the CASECC user input parameters for the current subcase override any settings of
Bulk Data parameters or above subcase level parameters of the same name. Any additional
current subcase parameters are set.
4. The Parameter Defaults Table is an internal table that contains the default value for all parameters
resolved between the Case Control, Bulk Data, NDDL, and the main and current subDMAP.

FORMAT Input-Character-no default. If FORMAT≠ ’MODES’, READ solves a buckling

problem, that is, ([K] + λ[Kd using EIGB Bulk Data. However, it is the DMAP writer’s
responsibility to multiply Kd by -1 before entering the READ module.

NSKIP Input-integer-default=1. The method used by READ is taken from the NSKIP
record of CASECC.
FLUID Input-logical-default=FALSE. If FLUID = TRUE, the EIGRL or EIGR entry is

selected from METHOD(FLUID) Case Control command.
SETNAME Input-character-default=‘A’ For maximum efficiency, the rows and columns KXX
and MXX must correspond to, or be a partition of the displacement set specified by
SETNAME. If KAA and MAA are a partition, PARTVEC must be specified.


If SID=0, the set identification number is obtained from the METHOD command in
CASECC and used to select the EIGR, EIGB, or EIGRL entries in DYNAMIC.
If SID>0, METHOD command is ignored and the EIGR, EIGB, or EIGRL is
selected by this parameter value. All subsequent parameter values (METH, F1,
and so on) are ignored.
If SID=-1, both the METHOD command and all EIGR, EIGB, or EIGRL entries are
ignored and the subsequent parameter values (METH, F1, and so on) are used to
control the eigenvalue extraction.
If SID=-2, take action similar to SID=0 except fields on the Case Control selection of
EIGR/EIGRL can be overridden by parameters F1 through NORM described below.

SHFSCL Input-real-default=0.0. Estimate of the first flexible natural frequency. SHFSCL

must be greater than 0.0.

(or NORM=‘MASS‘), MASS normalization is performed. NORM=‘MAX’selects
normalization by maximum displacement.
PRTSUM Inpput-logical-default=TRUE. Lanczos eigenvalue summary print flag.
MAXRATIO Input-real-default=1.0E7. Minimum value of factor diagonal ratio which causes

termination of decomposition.
BAILOUT Input-integer-default=0. If BAILOUT ≥ 0, the module exits with an error message if

the Sturm sequence number is in disagreement with the number of modes actually
computed in the range. If BAILOUT ≤ -1, the module continues with a warning
message after the Sturm sequence check error.
Remarks:
1. In the solution sequences, the eigensolution control parameters are selected by the METHOD or
METHOD(FLUID) command which are defined in the CASECC data block, and selects an EIGR
or EIGRL Bulk Data entry record defined in the DYNAMIC or EED data block. EED is a subset
of, and interchangeable with the DYNAMIC for this application. There are alternate formats as
shown below where the Case Control commands and/or the EIGR or EIGRL Bulk Data entries
are replaced with optional parameters SID, METH, F1, and so on.
• SID=0 - DYNAMIC and CASECC data blocks must be specified. METHOD command and
EIGR, or EIGRL, entries must be specified in the input file.
READ KAA,MAA,,,DYNAMIC,,CASECC,,,,/
LAMA,PHA,MI,OEIGS,/
FORMAT/S,N,NEIGV $
• SID>0 - Only DYNAMIC data blocks must be specified. The EIGR or EIGRL entry is selected
by the SID parameter. The CASECC data block can be purged and is ignored.
READ KAA,MAA,,,DYNAMIC,,,,,,/
LAMA,PHA,MI,OEIGS,/
FORMAT/S,N,NEIGV////SID $
• SID<0 - DYNAMIC and CASECC are not required. SID=-1 and METH through NORM
parameters are specified. For more detailed information on parameters F1 through NORM,
refer to the descriptions of Bulk Data entries EIGR and EIGRL in the NX Nastran Quick
Reference Guide. The CASECC and DYNAMIC data blocks can be purged and are ignored.

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 calculates 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.

,,LLL,EQEXIN/
LAMA,PHA,MI,OEIGS/
FORMAT/S,N,NEIGV//FLUID $
• 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.
READ KXX,MXX,MR,DMX,DYNAMIC,USET,CASECC,PARTVEC,SIL,
VACOMP,,LLL,EQEXIN/
LAMA,PHA,MI,OEIGS/
FORMAT/S,N,NEIGV//FLUID $
It is recommended that you no longer use this obsolete format. Provisions for it can be
removed from the code in a future version. Refer to old documentation for a description of
this obsolete form.
4. For the Lanczos method, KAA can be indefinite and MAA must be at least positive semidefinite.
For the unmodified tridiagonal methods (for example, HOU) KAA can be indefinite, but MAA
must be non-singular. For the modified and auto tridiagonal methods (for example, MHOU
and AHOU), MAA can be singular when [KAA + lambda*MAA] is non-singular. Lambda is an
internally calculated shift. The matrix sum is singular or approaches 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
subDMAP for the auto-omit DMAP steps used to remove rows and columns with null mass for
the tridiagonal methods. This makes the modified 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 can also be input if the APPEND
mode is being used.
6. LAMA and OElGS are suitable for OFP output.
7. MI cannot be purged.
8. Parallel processing in this module (Householder method only) is selected with the NASTRAN
statement keyword PARALLEL (or SYSTEM(107)). (See the NX Nastran Quick Reference Guide.
9. If an r-set is present and special processing of rigid body modes is desired, Siemens PLM
Software recommends that DAR have the same number of rows as KAA. If not, either MR, USET,
or VACOMP should be specified.
10. For more detailed information on parameters F1 through NORM, refer to the descriptions of the
“EIGR” and “EIGRL” Bulk Data entries in the NX 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 can be indefinite.
• Performance-enhancing options can be requested on system cells 193 through198. Use the
NASTRAN statement or the PUTSYS DMAP statement. See the NX 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, 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, Siemens PLM Software recommends that
the USET, SIL, and EQEXIN data blocks and SETNAME parameters are specified. If the
size of KAA is not the same as the size of the set indicated by SETNAME, PARTVEC
should also be specified.
12. If SID=-2, 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, a "QL" Householder eigensolution is performed. If
the problem cannot fit in memory, 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 automatically switches to AHOU when the size
of the problem is less than or equal to NE.
• if METH=‘HOU‘, ‘MHOU‘, and ‘AHOU,’the program automatically switches to the "QL"

solution if the problem fits in memory.
Examples:
1. Suppose you have a matrix [A] for which you want to extract eigenvalues via the classical
equation [A − λI] {u} = 0. Presuming that [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 is sufficient:
PARAML A//’TRAILER’/1/S,N,NCOLA $
MATGEN ,/IDEN/1/NCOLA $
READ A,IDEN,,,DYNAMICS,,CASECC,,,,,,,,/LAMA,VECTOR,MI,
OEIGS,/’MODES’/S,N,NEIGS/1 $
OFP LAMA,OEIGS//$
IF (NEIGS > -1) MATPRN VECTOR// $
2. Suppose that you now want to 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
READ A,IDEN,,,,,,,,,,,,,/LAMA,VECTOR,MI,
OEIGS/‘MODES‘/S,N,NEIGS////-1////5 $

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.

Chapter

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, 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, restart deletions are performed.

If INVOKE = FALSE (default), 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
DBEXP Input-logical-default=12. Double-precision tolerance component. Two

double-precision numbers, x and y are considered equal if
NDDLNAM Input-character-default=’ ’ NDDL is the name of the DATABLK statement to use

for a description in the comparison that overrides the name of DB1.
CMPDIF Output-integer. If CMPDIF=1, the comparison between DB1 and DB2 found
differences. Only valid for DB1 and DB2 existing with DLSTIN purged.
Remarks:
1. Any or all input data blocks can 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, RESTART also deletes data blocks according to the data dependencies. 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, 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.

in SEDRCVR.
Remarks:
1. If PARAM POST is not enabled, the output data blocks OUGV1MX, OEF1MX, and OES1MX are
not written to the .op2 file. To send results to the .op2 file, you must supply the following alter:
COMPILE SUBDMAP=SEDRCVR
ALTER RMAXMIN
OUTPUT2 OES1MX,OEF1MX,OUGV1MX,// \$
If PARAM POST is enabled, the default is to send the output data blocks to the .op2 file, but not
the transient results OUGV1, OEF1 and OES1. To send the transient results to the .op2 file,
you must add the following to your Bulk Data:
PARAM, RMXTRAN,YES
2. Since you can use the RMAXMIN case control command only in SOL 12 and 112, you can
provide a DMAP alter for other solution sequences to generate the output data blocks:
OUGV1MX, OEF1MX and OES1MX.
3. The size of paneling within sub-DMAP SEDRCVR is determined by the parameter,

RMXPANEL. See the RMXPANEL parameter description in the Quick Reference Guide for
further details.

according to NTIPS, TIPSCOL, and ZCOLLCT.
FLUIDSE Output-integer-default=0. Fluid superelement identification number. Set to a

value greater than zero if ACMS=‘YES’and fluid elements are present.
Remarks:
1. In the geometry table option, SEQP generates SEQGP Bulk Data entries to be appended to 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 can be purged
if SEQOUT=0.
3. Siemens PLM Software recommends SEQMETH=7 for sparse decomposition and sparse
forward-backward substitution only. The assembly of stiffness, mass, and damping matrices by
the EMA module can be less efficient under this option. Also, if there is insufficient memory
available to perform sparse decomposition, regular decomposition is performed and regular
decomposition is inefficient under this option.
4. SEQMETH=5, 6, or 7, resequencing is performed even if the CPU estimate is higher than for no
resequencing.
5. For SEQMETH=8, the estimates are computed for two sequencing methods that are suitable for
the decomposition method selected by the PARALLEL and SPARSE keywords on the NASTRAN
statement. Also selects the sequencing method with the lowest estimate. The following table
shows the suitable methods for each decomposition method.

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
Decomposition method Suitable SEQMETH
Non-sparse and non-parallel 1 and 4
Parallel 2 and 5
Sparse 6 and 7
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, all points that are connected to multipoint constraints (via MPC entries)
or rigid elements (for example, the RBAR entry) are placed in a special group at the end of
the sequence. This option also forces SEQMETH=6 and cannot 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; for example, a model with disjoint structures connected only
by MPCs or rigid elements. See the NX 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 is a generated sequence number and GRP is a group sequence number.
If GRP=0, use GRP(MAX)+1 where GRP(MAX) is the largest group sequence number previously
processed.
8. START specifies that the input sequence is 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 is 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, that is,
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, that
is, SEQMETH = -1, 1, 2, 3 or 4.

Example:
The following example generates a mapping matrix (SEQMAP) to resequence the matrix KAA. The
following SMPYAD module resequences the rows and columns of KAA. Following the decomposition
of the resequenced matrix (KAAX), the MPYAD resequences the right-hand side (PA) and FBS
performs the forward/backward substitution on the resequenced right-hand side (PAX). The final
MPYAD operation returns the solution (UAX) to the original sequence (UA).

Input Data Blocks:
A, B, C, D, E Matrices multiplied from left to right (real or complex)
F Matrix to be added to the above product (real or complex)
Output Data Block:
X Resultant matrix
Parameters:
NMAT Integer-input-no default. Number of matrices involved in the product; that is,
[A][B][C][D][E].
SIGNP Integer-input-default=1. Sign of the product matrix (that is, [A] [B] [C] [D] [E]):
-1 for minus.
SIGNF Integer-input-default=1. Sign of the matrix. [F], to be added to the product matrix:
-1 for minus.
PREC Integer-input-default=0. Output precision of the final result: 0 for choose proper
precision, 1 for single precision, 2 for double precision.

TA, TB, TC, Integer-input-default=0. Transpose indicators for the [A] [B] [C] and [D] matrices:
TD 1 if transposed matrix to be used in the product, 0 if 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] is 1
if the result is square, 2 otherwise. If [X] is known to be symmetric from physical
principles, FORM can be set to 6.
Remarks:
1. Except for the final product, all intermediate matrix products are computed in machine precision.
2. The matrices are post-multiplied from right to left; that is, 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, 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 [A] = [C] and TA = 1; that is, [X] = [A]T[B][A] ± [F], a
method that is more efficient than two equivalent MPYAD operations is employed. See Example
3. However, two equivalent MPYAD operations are 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. The triple multiply can also be forced by setting
system cell 129 to 2 for sparse [B] and to 3 for dense [B].)
5. If any of the matrices involved in the product do not exist, the module does not create any output.
Examples:
1. Compute [X] = [A] [B]T [C] - [F].
SMPYAD A,B,C,,,F/X/3/1/-1/0/0/1 $
2. Compute [Z] = -[U]T [V]T [W]T [X]T [Y].

3. Compute [φ]T[M] [φ].

terminated after the preface information is computed and printed.

ITSERR Output-integer-default=0. Iterative solver return code.
1 No convergence
2 Insufficent memory
Global solution remarks:

1. If ITSOPT = 3, Siemens PLM Software recommends that the IPAD level is 0, 1, or 2 (IEXT = 0)
and should be increased when IEXT is increased.
2. The amount of memory needed for ITSOPT = 3, 10, and 11 increases with the increase of the
parameters IPAD and IEXT.
3. For ITSOPT = 1 or 2, the input data blocks USET, KGG, and GM can 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, the results are still printed but can 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 increases slightly.
7. If SOLVIT is to be used for p-element analysis and ADPTINDX>1, 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.
Global solution examples:

1. Solve [A][X]=[B] with Jacobi pre-conditioning with convergence established at 1.E-4 and
maximum allowed iterations at 55 specified for the module parameters.
SOLVIT A,B,,,,,,,,,/X,,//1/1.E-4////-1 $
2. Same as 1 except parameters are obtained from the SMETHOD command and ITER entry.

11.96 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 comes 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. Cannot be purged, and in general, contains
string-formatted records.
CONTROL Table data block containing directives that control the editing process as described
under Remarks (it usually comes from DTI input). If CONTROL is purged, TNEW
is copied from TOLD.
TA,TB,TC Secondary tables to be merged into TOLD. Can be purged.

3. TABEDIT copies the name of the input data block to the output data block. Since the name is part
of record 0, it can also be changed by TABEDIT commands.
Examples:
Let GEOM1 generated by a previous run have a third record consisting of the five GRID entries.
GRID,10,0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,3456,0

GRID,50,0,4.0,4.0,0.0,0,3456,0
A printout of GEOM1 using the TABPRT module (with OPT3=1) shows the following for record 1:
1. Note that the GRID entry for grid point 30 has an error in the y-location coordinate, which should
be 2.0 instead of 2.5. Make this correction without going through the conventional XSORT-IFP

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 can be printed: row sort and
column sort. For row sort, a table is printed for each set selected by USETSEL. An
example of row sort (USETPRT = 0 or 10) is shown below:
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. An example of column sort (USETPRT = 1 or 11) is shown below:
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 )

If OPT2=0, 2, 3, or 5, OPT1 chooses a subset of record 2 for printing as follows:
OPT1 value Selection within record 2
0 All parts (GRID list and summaries of GRID list)
1 Only GRID List
2 Only Summaries of GRID List
-g GRID List for Pattern Starting with Entry GRID ID = G (if any)
10X+010X+2 Same as 0 or 2 but with Summary List.Selection based on X

200+X Same as 100+X except that additional pure interior points are not listed.
300+X Same as 200+X except that additional nonresidual points are not listed
400+X Same as 100+X except that additional scalar points are not listed.
500+X Same as 200+X except that additional scalar points are not listed
600+X Same as 300+X except that additional scalar points are not listed
If OPT2 = 4, OPT1 chooses CSUPER entry as follows:

DMAP Module
OPT2 value Meaning of selection
1 Print only Record 1 contents
2 Print contents of Records 1 (except for OPT1 < 0) and 2 (see OPT1 for selection
options within Record 2)
3 Print contents of Records 1, 2 and a record for each superelement giving a list of
internal points, a list of external points, a list of elements, and estimation data
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, CSUPER entries are written on the punch file according to OPT1. Field 2 (SEID)
is selected by OPT1. Field 3 is 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.
TABPRT EMAP//’SEMAP’/1/4 $
TABPRT EMAP//’SEMAP’/-100/4 $

21 24 31 34 51 53 54 61
64 71 74 230 330 630 730
2. If OPT2 = 0,3 or 5 and TIMSIZ is supplied, TABPRT produces an estimation printout for each
superelement except the residual structure. The equations used along with the semi-empirical
constants are printed as well as dominant CPU time estimates, space estimates, and wall clock
estimates. These estimates are valid for “large” superelements only and should be adjusted for
anomalous characteristics.
Estimate totals are also provided at the end of the SEMAP printout. If ESTDATA is also supplied,
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 can be printed with
TABPRT. If ‘FINDIT’ (default) is specified, the KEY is 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.

TABPRT GPL//’GPL’ $
3. Print basic grid point definition table.

TABPRT BGPDT// $
4. Print GEOM3X table with labels taken from DATABLK statement in the NDDL.
TABPRT GEOM3X//’GEOM3’///1 $
5. Print USET list for g-set and s-set in internal order using row sort.
TABPRT USET,BGPDT//’USET’/0/18 $
6. Print USET for the mutually exclusive sets in internal order using column sort.
TABPRT USET,BGPDT//’USET’/1 $
7. Print all SEMAP information except the grid list and secondary superelement boundary
sequencing list.
TABPRT EMAP//’SEMAP’/2/3 $
8. Punch CSUPER entries for the residual structure with SEID field set to 100.
TABPRT EMAP//’SEMAP’/-100/4 $
9. Print only estimation data for all superelements.

Input Data Blocks:
TABi Data block name

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
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 can be used to print matrices.
5. TABPT can occasionally misidentify real numbers or character values. The TABPRT module with
OPT3 ≠ 0 properly identifies real numbers and character values.
6. The TABPRT module with OPT3 ≠ 0 also prints tables like TABPT with labels above each item.

=1 if RSTIME is inside the interval of definition of DTEMP or DTEMPEX
=-1 if not applicable such as when the subcase does not include DTEMP or
DTEMPEX
TEMPINIT Input-integer-no default. Required if the current subcase is MODAL subcase.

Set ID specified for TEMP(INIT) of the last static subcase that comes before
the current modal subcase. Set to 0 if the last static subcase does not have
TEMP(INIT). Set to -1 for static a subcase in which CASECC is specified. See
Remark 2.
TEMPLOAD Input-integer-no default. Required if the current subcase is a MODAL subcase.

Set ID specified for TEMP(LOAD) of the last static subcase that comes before
the current modal subcase. Set to 0 if the last static subcase does not have
TEMP(LOAD). Set to -1 for a static subcase in which CASECC is specified.
See Remark 2.
DTEMP Input-integer-no default. Required if the current subcase is a MODAL subcase.

Set ID specified for DTEMP of the last static subcase that comes before the
current modal subcase. Set to 0 if the last static subcase does not have DTEMP.
Set to -1 for a static subcase in which CASECC is specified. See Remark 2.
Remarks:
1. If the solution time, RSTIME, lies within the definition of the DTEMP or DTEMPEX bulk entry,
the nodal temperatures are interpolated by linear interpolation. If RSTIME lies outside the time
domain of the DTEMP or DTEMPEX bulk entry, the temperature values are step-extension.
2. For a modal subcase, CASECC may not have TEMP(INIT), TEMP(LOAD), or DTEMP. These
values should be provided for the previous static subcase preceding the modal subcase.

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
Therefore, for the MODAL subcase, instead of CASECC, the values of TEMPINIT, TEMPLOAD
and DTEMP should be provided as input.
3. If the subcase has DTEMP case control only, such as time-assigned temperatures with DTEMP
or DTEMPEX, the NEWTSETID is the ID of the new temperature set in TSETATT.
4. If the subcase has TEMP(LOAD) only, the value of NEWTSETID will be same as TEMP(LOAD).

11.111 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, , prmlist $
3. Local parameters:
TYPE PARM,,ptype, , prmlist = [default] $
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
Character CHARi, where i = 1-80
Logical LOGICAL
Remarks:
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, 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 can be assigned a default value. This value
overrides the MPL default value (if there are any). Character values must be
enclosed in single quotation marks.
NDDL Keyword that identifies parameters or qualifiers defined in the NDDL.

Chapter
Chapter 11:11:DMAP
DMAP Module
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 the CALL DMAP statement, the (S,) option to save control and QUALifier
parameters is necessary to facilitate parallel and recursive processing.
6. Only the ptype is used on the TYPE PARM for parameters passed through a subDMAP argument
list. Also, default values are ignored.
7. Siemens PLM Software recommends 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, a fatal error occurs.
9. If data blocks not defined in the NDDL appear in a TYPE DB statement, a fatal error occurs.
10. If the parameter type and authorization specified on a TYPE statement do not match those
specified in a DMAP module, a fatal error occurs.
11. If the parameter type specified on a TYPE statement does not match the type required by a
DMAP module, a fatal error occurs.
12. Character parameters which appear on TYPE statements and 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.

Output Data Blocks:
PHX Right eigenvector matrix for real eigenvalues only
ULAMA Unsymmetric eigenvalue summary table
PHXL Left eigenvector matrix for real eigenvalues only
XORTH Cross-orthogonality matrix
LAMMAT Diagonal matrix with real eigenvalues on the diagonal
Parameters:
NEIGV Output-integer-no default. The number of eigenvectors found. Set to -1 if none

were found.

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, the UMETHOD command is ignored and the EIGUL entry is selected
by this parameter‘s value. All subsequent parameter values (F1, F2, and so on)
are ignored.
If SID<0, both the UMETHOD command and all EIGUL entries are ignored and
the subsequent parameter values (F1, F2, and so on) are 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 is set to N/10000

where N is the size of KXX, and so on.
Remarks:
1. In certain NX Nastran applications, the eigenvalue problem presented contains real, unsymmetric
matrices. One such application, the direct structural acoustic problem is formulated as:

where the stiffness and mass matrices are both real unsymmetric, containing coupled blocks of
structural and fluid matrices. Another case of an unsymmetric but real eigenvalue problem is
given in the aeroelastic divergence solution posed as:
where Kll is the structural stiffness matrix, real, symmetric positive definite. However, the Qll
divergence matrix is real, unsymmetric.
2. The left-handed solutions of the two problems presented before are:
for acoustics and
for aeroelastic divergence.

Based on the physical principals of the above problems, the eigenvectors are real and the
eigenvalues are either real (aeroelastic divergence) or imaginary (acoustics).
3. QXX is required if MXX is purged, and vice versa.
4. XORTH, CLAMMAT, SVEC, BP, APL and, APU can be purged.

Character-input-default=‘COMP’ Subset degree-of-freedom names. See
SETi
Remarks.

Remarks:
1. The supersets formed by the union of other sets have the following definitions.
2. SET1 or SET2, but not both, can be set to ‘COMP’(or blank) which means that one set is the
complement of the other. For example, if MAJOR=‘G‘, SET1=‘A‘, and SET2=‘COMP’(or blank),
SET2 is assumed to be those degrees-of-freedom in the g-set that are not in the a-set.
3. If SET1 and SET2 are unique subsets of MAJOR but their union does not comprise all of the
degrees-of-freedom in the MAJOR set, the SET2 partition is assumed to be SET2=‘COMP’
For example, if MAJOR=‘G‘, SET1=‘A‘, and SET2=‘S‘, SET2 is assumed to be ‘COMP’(See
Remark 2) and not just the s-set.
4. The set names MAJOR, SET1, and SET2, can 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. This resultant
set is then joined with the m-set.
5. USET and A cannot be purged.
6. A11 or A21 can be purged, in which case, they are assumed to be null.
Examples:
Merge four matrices into a single matrix based on degrees-of-freedom sets.

= θ′y = θ′z = 0 and u′zux + uy + uz + θx + θy + θz,
where ui and θi are the translations and rotations of XG.

3 The coordinate locations (x, y, z) in BGPDT converted None

to a matrix and translated by XG:
x′ = ux + x
y′ = uy + y

XG in the basic coordinate system. BGPDT contains
the location of each grid point in the basic coordinate
system. COORID is ignored.

6 A g-row by six-column rigid body matrix where each None

column represents the motion of all grid points due
to a unit motion of an r-set degrees of freedom (see

where [XOUT4] is the rigid body matrix generated under

PLOTFORM = 4, and [DRR] is the partition of [XOUT4]
corresponding to the six r-set degrees of freedom
defined in the USET table. There must be six and only
six r-set degrees of freedom which completely describe
the six rigid body modes. The r-set degrees of freedom
can be defined on more than one grid point. If the
r-set degrees of freedom belong to a single grid point,
the result is the same as IOPT=4, except that the unit
motions of the grid point listed on PARAM, GRDPNT
are in its global, rather than basic coordinate system.
7 Grid point weight generator summary table suitable for None

printing by the OFP module. Same as GPWG module.
