TEXT FILE SYNTAX

ROBMODEL FILE
' ROBMODEL:
model of the ROBOT text data file
' NOTE:
this file is your guide for text file creation.
'
To create a new example text file read the ROBMODEL file into the ROBOT V6
'
internal editor (F9 key), and save it after editing under a new name (Alt + S)
' New options of the ROBOT Millennium are marked in bold, italic and in green
'Main syntax rules:
'
comments are preceded by " ' " or " ; " characters
'
character " = " is optional - may be replaced by space
'
character ":" separates different commands in the same line
'
character "_" allows to continue current line in the following line
'
LABel
:
ROBOT keyword
'
<value>
:
numeric value
'
<list>
:
a list of nodes, elements or cases, of one of the following forms:
'
<n1> <n2>....<nn>
'
<n1> TO <nn> BY <step> EXCLuding <nk>
'
<name>

'

OPTIONAL block of commands
'
{...}
:
REPEATABLE block of commands
'
/
:
multiple choice sign, a FEW parameters from the list may be used, at
'
:
least ONE
'
|
:
exclusive choice sign, only ONE parameter from the list may be used
'
' Names:
'
Names used in ROBOT must not contain digits. However, if such need arises,
'
both the name and the number must be closed by double quotes
'
for example, "Steel A36".
'
' Symbols:
'
The following symbols are used in the text (d.o.f. shall be chosen according to the structure
'
type).
' [F]
<=>
[FX / FY / FZ / MX / MY / MZ]
' [F=<f>]

' [A=<a>]
<=>
[AX=<ax> / AY=<ay> / AZ=<az> / BX=<bx> / BY=<by> / BZ=<bz>], where:
ax,ay,az,bx,by,bz - values from the range [0:1]

' Units:
'
All physical values are entered in units specified in the unit block
'
(global or local). All exceptions are formally marked.
'
' Calculator:
'
It is possible to use the following arithmetic operations
'
for the numerical values: +, -, *, /,^, Sin, Cos,Tg, ArcTg, ABS, SQRT
'
For example : IZ=((5*6^3)/12)
'
Remarks:
'
1/ formulas must be always closed in parentheses ( )
'
2/ arguments of all trigonometric functions must be in DEGREES
'
CAUTION: The result values of the ArcTg function are also in degrees.
