1. SLFWBK
Restrictions:
This routine can only be used with pure thermal models. Control constants
DTIMEI, TIMEND, NLOOP and RELXCA must be specified. It requires 3*NNT
locations of dynamic core (NNT = total number of nodes in system).
SLFWBK
may be called from the $EXECUTION block only.
2. SLCRNC
4. SLMODE
This routine performs transient analysis using the modal analysis method.
Givens' method followed by the QR algorithm is used to evaluate the Eigen
values
and the Eigen vectors. The user is required to specify the following control
constants: the time step length (DTIMEI); the problem start time (TIMEO) if
this is
not 0.0; the problem time end (TIMEND) and the output interval (OUTINT).
The
user must specify a maximum iteration count (NLOOP) and relaxation
criterion
(RELXCA) for solution of zero capacitance nodes.
If convergence to within RELXCA is not achieved inside NLOOP iterations
for a
time step then the solution continues but an error code is set. The control
constants
DTMIN, DTMAX and DTPMAX may be set in order to regulate the time step
used
by the program. DTMIN specifies the minimum time step length allowed,
DTMAX
the maximum time step length allowed and DTPMAX the maximum
temperature
change allowed over a time step. Where these criteria clash, e.g. a time
step smaller
than DTMIN gives a temperature change greater than DTPMAX or DTMAX
set
less than DTMIN, DTMIN prevails and the solution continues. If DTPMAX is
exceeded because of this an error code is set.
The user can specify the type of units used by setting the control
constants
STEFAN and TABS.
