3.5 DIBL4



Calling sequence : CALL DIBL4 (IDNUM1, IDNUM2,X1,Y1, Z1, BX1, BY1, BZ1,

X2,Y2, Z2, BX2, BY2, BZ2, IEXIT, IUNT)



Purpose : To enter a distributed bending moment for a single beam element.



Parameters :

In
IDNUM1   Load identification number 1 (Integer)
X1,Y1,Z1   Co-ordinates of point of application of moment 1 (Reals)
BX1,BY1,BZ1 Components of the applied moment 1 (Reals)
IDNUM2   Load identification number 2 (Integer)
X2,Y2,Z2   Co-ordinates of point of application of moment 2 (Reals)
BX2,BY2,BZ2 Components of the applied moment 2 (Reals)
IUNT   Temporary file channel number (Integer)
Out
IEXIT   Error condition (Integer)



Use : To enter a single distributed bending moment for a single beam element. The load can be expressed in a local or global system, as long as all load types are entered in the same system. The load distribution is assumed to be trapezoidal along the element, the trapezoid being defined by the two specified moments.






Errors : The error condition is indicated by the value of IEXIT.


IEXIT Meaning

0   Successful Call
32   Current error must be cleared up first
129   Error in writing to temporary file on unit (iunt)
146   Beam load header expected
147   None indicated or already done for current beam
151   Point moments must precede distributed moments
211   Invalid temporary file unit number (iunt)
