SWLDPRM, ASCHAUX

Bulk Data Entry Controls the search behavior for auxiliary points for CFAST elements.

The search for CFAST auxiliary points is conducted by using GSMOVE (particular GS/GA/GB) as the outer loop, NREDIA (particular diameter) as the inner loop, and the actual auxiliary point search as the innermost loop.

Parameter Values Description
ASCHAUX <NO, YES>
NO (Default)
The search for auxiliary points will be limited to shells with the same PSHELL property. However, if the user-defined GSMOVE and NREDIA parameters are reached (as described above), and the shells for auxiliary points cannot be found, then the limit of searching within the same PSHELL property will be overridden. The search is then expanded into different PSHELL properties for additional attempts.
YES
The search of auxiliary points will not be limited to shells with the same PSHELL property for every attempt within the specified GSMOVE and NREDIA. Within the same GSMOVE and NREDIA parameters, the search attempts start from the shells with the same PSHELL property and are expanded into shells with different PSHELL properties until the search is successful. If no such auxiliary points are found, then the GSMOVE and NREDIA parameters are updated and the search begins again.
