5-30
Note: Use “REPEAT ALL 0”, to start a set of members that will be
repeated if you don’t want to repeat back to the last REPEAT ALL.
The following data are used for member generation only:
i
4
= Second member number to which members will be
generated.
i
5
= Member number increment for generation.
i
6
= Joint number increment which will be added to the
incident joints. (i
5
and i
6
will default to 1 if left out.)
n = Number of times repeat is to be carried out.
m
i
= Member number increment
j
i
= Joint number increment
Example
MEMBER INCIDENCES
1 1 2
2 5 7 5
7 11 13 13 2 3
In this example, member 1 goes from joint 1 to 2. Member 2 is
connected between joints 5 and 7. Member numbers from 3 to 5
will be generated with a member number increment of 1 and a joint
number increment 1 (by default). That is, member 3 goes from 6 to
8, member 4 from 7 to 9, member 5 from 8 to 10. Similarly, in the
next line, member 9 will be from 14 to 16, 11 from 17 to 19 and 13
from 20 to 22.
