CREATE ASSEMBLY-OF-CAPACITY-MODELS <CMA-name> UNLOCATED
SUBCOMMAND:
... UNLOCATED <LX> <LY> <specification>
PURPOSE:
Define an unlocated Capacity Model Assembly, i.e. an assembly which is not assigned to a specific location in
space or relative to a Finite Element Model, but only described through its main dimensions.
An unlocated Capacity Model Assembly may typically be used for design purposes, concept studies etc. where
little or no coordinate data is available.
PARAMETERS:
<LX>
Overall panel length in x-direction. This value can also be interpreted as the sum
of the girder spacings.
<LY>
Overall panel length in y-direction. This value can also be interpreted as girder
lengths.
<specification>
Definition of material, number of girders and stiffeners etc., i.e. a complete
description of a stiffened panel. For details, see the following pages.
NOTES:
1
AUTOMATIC loads cannot be created.
The UNLOCATED Capacity Models must be given loads using the CREATE LOAD-ON-CAPACITYMODEL MANUAL command.
