What's new in FRAME3DD 20140514

May 15, 2014
  • include the effect of applied point loads at reaction coordinates on the computed reaction forces
  • This change has simplified the calculations by eliminating the need for
  • the entire function: compute_reaction_forces() and
  • the reaction-related calcluations in the function: add_feF().
  • Instead, the correct reaction forces are now computed within ldl_dcmp_pm.
  • The relevant changes to main.c, frame3dd.c, and HPGmatrix.c are
  • commented with the date of the change: 2014-05-14.
  • Because this change affects computed results,
  • the version number is updated to 20140514.
  • Step 8 of section 8 of the user manual is updated to reflect
  • this change in the method.
  • these changes do not affect the formatting of the input or output data
  • changed all gnuplot commands "set nofoobar" to "unset foobar"
  • caught and fixed bug affecting smoothness of mode-shape animations
  • updated links to ansicon and Sketchup interface in user-manual.html

  • apply linear correction to integrated (M/EI) *before* adding in V/GA
