Hi all,
I'm trying to run a simulation using PETSc and parFEAP but I have some troubles to apply the boundary conditions.
Essentially it seems to me that FEAP knows that I am using the CBOUndary command but just can't find the nodes where to apply the load.
Here how I specify the CBOUndary:
CBOUndary
LINEar 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1,0.0,dj
2,0.0,di
CBOUndary
LINEar 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1,di,0.0
2,di,dj
!Blank Termination Record
CSURface
DISP,1
LINEar
1,0.0,dj,1
2,0.0,di,1
!Blank Termination Record
CPRO
LINEar 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1,0.0,dj
2,0.0,di
!Blank Termination Record
and here is what I get back in the O file:

If you have any idea I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks!
