Nodal Boundary Conditions Codes.

Boundary codes are generated by sequential generation. Terminate the generation by a blank card. 

1-5   Number of first node in sequence (N)


6-10 		 Number of last node in generation sequence (NE)


11-15		 Generation nodal increment (NG)


16-20		 DOF #1 boundary code ID(1,N):


EQ.0, Active DOF. (Prescribed force)


EQ.1, Prescribed  Displacement      

EQ.2, Prescribed Velocity or $\Phi$


EQ.3, Prescribed Acceleration or $\dot{\Phi}$


21-.. 		Boundary codes for the other Ds.O.F.
In case of Displacement or velocity control. The program uses the time integration equations in a reverse way to differentiate the load time function to get the velocity and/or the acceleration. The program assumes the load time function is piece wise linear, i.e. linear relationship between any two consecutive points.
