This table provides information about each stress analysis generic component. There is one entry in this table for each generic stress analysis component used in the PDS to stress analysis symbol map. The format of an element in this table is:
NAME, CAT, NODES, ONODE
where:
|
NAME |
generic component name (Refer to Appendix C.) |
|
CAT |
generic component category. Use one of the following values for category: 1 simple component |
|
NODES |
number of nodes the component generates |
|
ONODE |
defines which node in the node list is the origin node. If this item is 0, then no node will be generated for the component origin. This item should always be set so that origin nodes appear in the node list after nodes at connect points. |
