CPSEL

CPSEL, Type, --,--, VMIN, VMAX, VINC
Selects coupled degree-of-freedom sets via predefined reference numbers.

PREP7: Coupled DOF

Type

Label identifying the type of select:

S	—	Select a new set (default).
A	—	Select an additional set and add it to the current set.
U	—	Unselect a set from the current set.
ALL	—	Restore the full set.
NONE	—	Unselect the full set.
INVE	—	Invert the current set (selected becomes unselected and vice versa).
STAT	—	Display the current select status.

--, --

Unused fields.

The following fields are used only with Type = S, A, or U:

VMIN: Minimum value of coupled DOF reference number range.
VMAX: Maximum value of coupled DOF reference number range. VMAX defaults to VMIN.
VINC: Value increment within the specified range. Defaults to 1.

Command Default

All coupled sets are selected.

Notes

The CPSEL command selects coupled degree-of-freedom sets (CP) via specified reference numbers. VMIN, VMAX, and VINC must be positive integer values.

For example, the following command selects a new set of coupled degree-of-freedom sets based on reference numbers 1 through 7:

CPSEL,S,,,1,7,1

Data are flagged as selected and unselected; no data are actually deleted from the database.

Use CPLIST to list coupled degree-of-freedom sets and their reference numbers. If a coupled degree-of-freedom set is selected but involves unselected nodes, that coupled degree-of-freedom set will not be listed by the CPLIST command, and the solver ignores it.

Internally coupled degrees of freedom are not affected by this command.

This command is also valid in POST1.
