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.

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)

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.

terms, the output matrix is purged. If PURGE≠ 0, and the input matrix has no
nonzero terms, the output matrix is null.
UPLOW Input-integer-default=0. If UPLOW < 0, all lower triangular terms are set to
zero. If UPLOW > 0, all upper triangular terms are set to zero. If UPLOW = 0,
the action of this parameter is ignored.
STRTR Input-integer-default=0. If STRTR=0, string trailer is written.
FILTER Input-real single precision-default=0.0. Terms in I1 with an absolute

magnitude less than the absolute value of FILTER are set to zero.

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.

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:
Output KGG and PG matrices in MATPOOL formatted table and punch to DMIG Bulk Data
entries (MATGEN Option 9 is being used to resequence them from internal to external sort).

Output Data Block:
CP Column partitioning vector

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.

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.

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 $ IM,,,,,,,,/LIST,BOOL/S,N,P1//S,N,SORTED////2 $
MATMOD
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 $ IM,,,,,,,,/LIST,BOOL/S,N,P1//S,N,SORTED////1 $
MATMOD
the output matrix LIST for NKEYS=1 contain either

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.

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.

stress, strain, and so on.
2. UHF, KHH, MHH, PHDH and OL cannot be purged.
3. CONMODS and YS cannot be purged if enforced motion exists.
Method:
The dynamic equations of motion can be written as
Equation 1-3.
where = mass, viscous damping, stiffness, and structural damping matrices.

uf = absolute displacements of the f-set dof
= effective external forces
in which
Pf = loads applied to the f-set dof
us = enforced motion applied to the s-set dof
The displacements can be calculated by rewriting equation 1-3 into the following format:
Equation 1-4.
Velocities and accelerations are still recovered directly from the normal modes responses as:

Equation 1-5.
Equation 1-6.
where = matrix of normal modes
= matrix of constraint modes of enforced motion dof =
= vector of modal velocities
= vector of modal accelerations

Substituting equations 1-5 and 1-6 into equations 1-4, displacements can be calculated by:
Equation 1-7.
where
=
matrix of attachment modes due to applied forces =
= matrix of equivalent mass attachment modes
= matrix of equivalent viscous damping attachment modes
= matrix of equivalent structural damping attachment modes
Ω= diagonal matrix of
= m-th natural frequency
m=
c=
(in general, not diagonal)
=
(in general, not diagonal)

If rigid body modes exist, the responses can be calculated by including the rigid body motion
term into equation 1-7,
where = matrix of rigid body modes
= modal displacements of rigid body modes.
