3.10 DICOR




Calling sequence : CALL DICOR (IDNNUM, X, Y, Z, IDSNUM, IEXIT, IUNT)



Purpose : To enter a nodal co-ordinate data record.



Parameters :

In
IDNNUM Node identification Number (Integer)
X       X - co-ordinate (Real)
Y       Y - co-ordinate (Real)
Z       Z - co-ordinate (Real)
IDSNUM Local axis system identification Number for degrees of freedom

at the node (Integer)
IUNT Temporary file channel number (Integer)
Out
IEXIT Error condition (Integer)


Use : This routine is called once for each node attached to a valid FEMVIEW element type, present in the model, to enter its co-ordinates. One node is processed at a time. Co-ordinates must be expressed in the global co-ordinate system. Co-ordinate data expressed in a local system must be transformed to the global system prior to being entered.

Co-ordinate information for nodes not connected to valid FEMVIEW elements, or any element, can be entered but they may affect the scaling of a picture within FEMVIEW.




The data has to be entered in ascending node order.



Co-ordinate data cannot be appended to an existing model.


The local axis system identifier is set either to zero (meaning no local axis system is active) or to an identification number which refers to a local system defined using routine DILXC.


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


IEXIT Meaning

0   Successful call
32   Current error must be cleared up first
131   Cannot enter nodal co-ordinates, current dataset is : (KEY )
211   Invalid temporary file unit number (iunt)
212   Node identification numbers not in ascending order
213   Node identification numbers cannot be less than 1
215   Node id above 99999 not allowed for 5 digit character file
216   Error in writing to temporary file on unit (iunt)
253   System id numbers cannot be less than 0
254   System id numbers above 999999 invalid
255   System id above 99999 invalid for character file
