SID Identification number.

No default (Integer > 0)

 
F# Frequency value. The units for F# are cycles per unit time.

No default (Real ≥ 0.0)

 

Comments

  1. FREQ entries must be selected with the I/O Options or Subcase Information command FREQUENCY = SID.
  2. All FREQi entries with the same set identification numbers will be used. Duplicate frequencies will be ignored. f N and f N 1 are considered duplicated if: (1)
    | f N f N 1 | < DFREQ * | f MAX f MIN |
    Where,
    DFREQ
    User parameter with a default of 10-5 * f M A X
    f M I N
    The maximum and minimum excitation frequencies of the combined FREQi entries
