Alter to Transform DMIG Entries into Basic Coordinate System


Alter Name     dmigtrna.v707


Purpose

To transform the dmig matrix selected by the K2GG Case Control
command from the coordinate system listed on PARAM XCID to the
basic coordinate system. It will then punch this transformed
DMIG matrix into the punch file.


Solution Sequence

SOL 100


Input
 
Executive Control Section

Include 'dmigtrna.v707'.

Case Control

Select the DMIG matrix to be transformed via the K2GG Case Control
command. Only one DMIG matrix can be transformed in a single run.

Bulk Data 

DMIG matrix in Coordinate System XCID

GRID entries for all grids referenced on the DMIG matrix (Their
coordinate system and location are irrelevant for the purpose
of the transformation.)

CORD entry defining coordinate system XCID relative to BASIC.

Set PARAM,XCID to the coordinate system you wish to transform from.
This coordinate system must be defined in the bulk data. The DMAP
alter will only transform from XCID to the BASIC coordinate system.


Output


This DMAP places a set of DMIG entries containing the transformed
matrix in the "punch" file to be used for subsequent input.


Limitations


This is a standalone run. Statics, normal modes etc. cannot be performed.
