This routine is mainly used to read the stiffness and mass matrices from NASTRAN output file Go to each test folder, run readKM_test_XXXX.m, select the corresponding *.pch file of interest when you use it for other model, something you need to change as follow. Keep improving... (Wei Zhao: weizhao@vt.edu), enjoy! ============================================================================================ 1. Change path folder in addpath('') for each case. For example, in test_1 folder, change the line 43 folder path to yours where the readMass.m and readStiffness.m locate 2. GRDSET is a vector for degrees of freedom constrained 3. For the test cases here, comment 'PARAM,EXTOUT,matrixpch' when you run them for mode results using NASTRAN SOL103 4. *.PCH includes stiffness and mass matrices. They are directly used in eigenvalue computation. We called A-set 5. *.f06 includes eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors from NASTRAN analysis - sol103 6. For nodal labels, it is better to copy them from *.pch after the line 'DMIG* VAX 1 0' and unique these values. because some grids could possibly not considered in FEM when the element between two nodes has no properties, such as RBE2. === 7. Because Github cannot identify *.pch file automatically, the uploaded stiffness and mass matrices are stored in *.pch1 file. change them to *.pch when you download them, and run the program. =============================================================================================
