CustomLib also allows to enter square matrices of order n automatically. The Matrix Editor window is opened by locating in the data tree the field to modify, and choosing the edit button (e.g. [x]) as follows,
This will open the Matrix Editor window and load the current expression into it, which can be empty.
The <value/> node field in the .spd file is the following:
<value n="nu" pn="nu" function="matrix_func,scalar" dimension_function="3" state="normal" symmetric_function="0" has_diag="0" components_function="x,y,z" v="0.3" function_func="loads_function" help="Poisson coefficient"/>
The <value/> node field in the .spd file is the following:
<value n="nu_s" pn="nu" function="matrix_func,scalar" dimension_function="3" state="normal" symmetric_function="1" has_diag="1" components_function="a,b,c" v="0.3" help="Poisson coefficient"/>
The parameters are as follows,
- dimension_function: Determine the dimensions of a the given square matrix.
- symmetric_function: It is a boolean value as a 1 or 0. It allows to indicate that it is given only the upper triangular part of a symmetric matrix.
- components_function: List of numbers or names. The natural way to refer to rows and columns in a matrix is via the row and column numbers. However, the user can also give names to these entities.
- has_diag: It is a boolean value as a 1 or 0, that allows to indicate if it is a diagonal matrix.
