INTRODUCTION
============
This limited version of D3RUN is offered to current and future users
of Finite Element Analysis, free of charge. The program has been
restricted to a maximum of 50 nodes for trial use and BBS distribution.
To obtain the full 3D Frame Analysis program with over 6000 available
degrees of freedom, a users manual, and future updates, simply complete
the registration form included.
HELPFUL HINTS
=============
1. General
All input must be unit consistant.
2. Member Definition
A. Z reference node locates the XZ-plane of the element.
B. Pin codes: enter one (1) to release the degree of freedom.
IPC1 - ABC
A - axial release
B - Y rotation end one (1)
C - Z rotation end one (1)
IPC2 - ABC
A - X rotation release (torsion)
B - Y rotation end two (2)
C - Z rotation end two (2)
C. Rigid links are identified with a beam property of 99.
D. Rigid ended elements require an "A" and "B" dimension which are
the length of the rigid section for end one (1) and end two (2),
respectively.
3. Restraints
A. The restraint code, numbers 1-6, are entered to selectively restrain
degrees of freedom.
B. Rotational values for input are in radians.
4. Load Input
Nodal and gravity loads are input in the global coordinate system, while
member loads are input in the local (member) coordinate system.
5. Printing Output
If an 80 column printer is being used, set your printer for
condensed mode since the standard output is wider than 80 columns.
6. Plotting
When plotting a sectional view, enter the node number and axis
reference to define the view direction. For example, a "2Z" would
plot the members viewed from node 2 and looking in the Z direction.
