SubDMAPs DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH
1.10 SubDMAPs DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH
The DBMGR, DBSTORE, and DBFETCH module capabilities prior to MSC.Nastran
Version 66 have been replaced by subDMAPs, as described below.
CALL DBMGR //OPT/P2/P3/P4/P5/P6/DB1/DB2/DB3/DB4/DB5 $
CALL DBSTORE DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5//Q1/Q2/DBSET/COND $
CALL DBFETCH /DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5/Q1/Q2/FLAG/0/S,SUCCESS $
The complete descriptions can be found in “DMAP Modules and Statements” in
Chapter 4 under subDMAPs DBFETCH, DBMGR, and DBSTORE.
Prior to MSC.Nastran Version 66 data blocks could be stored, fetched, and
manipulated from the database via the DMAP modules DBSTORE, DBFETCH and
DBMGR. In MSC.Nastran Version 66 these modules were removed in favor of a more
robust and automatic capability. To help users store data blocks that are not already
defined in the NDDL, a set of subDMAPs are available that emulate most of the
capabilities in those modules. The subDMAPs and their capabilities are:
CALL DBSTORE store data blocks on the database
CALL DBFETCH retrieve data blocks from the
database
CALL DBMGR perform various functions related to
data blocks stored using CALL
DBSTORE
DIAG 47 can be specified in the Executive Control Section to print diagnostics related
to these operations.
These subDMAPs are stored in the delivery database and do not have to be compiled
by the user if they are being used in any NX Nastran solution sequences. For example:
SOL 101
DIAG 47
COMPILE SEDRCVR
ALTER ’AFTER ELEMENT STRESS’
CALL DBSTORE OES1,,,,//0/SEID/’ ’/0 $
CEND
