This command is used to define the spatial dimension of a model and the number of degrees-of-freedom at the nodes. Once issued, additional commands are added to the OpenFresco interpreter. This is the same command that is available in OpenSees.
model BasicBuilder -ndm $ndm <-ndf $ndf>
$ndm | spatial dimension of problem (1,2, or 3) |
$ndf | number of degrees of freedom at node (optional) |
default value depends on value of ndm: | |
ndm=1 –> ndf=1 | |
ndm=2 –> ndf=3 | |
ndm=3 –> ndf=6 |
Example
model BasicBuilder -ndm 2 -ndf 2
This example creates a model with 2 dimensions and 2 degrees of freedom per node.
