Reaction Forces in parFEAP v8.3

[Juan]

I am starting this message as a follow up question to the thread “Topic: Reaction Forces in parallel FEAP” initiated by “tgross" (feap.berkeley.edu/forum/index.php?topic=617.msg2318)

I am having problems exporting the reactions with the REAC command for my simulation running in ParFEAP version 8.3 (serial FEAP does work).

I believe this was corrected in v8.4 but I wonder if someone have successfully made the changes in parFEAP v8.3. I did try adopting the visible in the provided v8.4 "pform.f" file into my v8.3 "pform.f" without success. Perhaps a developer more familiar with the internal parFEAP structure could provide some guidance.

Many thanks,

Juan

The change to parFEAP 8.4 involved the addition of the call to pparlo( ) and setting nar.  However, the structure of parFEAP 8.3 was different and where things were computed changed substantially (including the number of arguments to pparlo).  Unfortunately, it was so long ago I do not even recall the exact issue.  My recommendation would be to just upgrade your code.  There have been lots of upgrades and bug fixes since version 8.3.
