Adds (sums) variables.

Mechanical APDL Command: ADD

Parameters:

irstr

Arbitrary reference number assigned to the resulting variable (2 to NV ( numvar )). If this number is the same as for a previously defined variable, the previously defined variable will be overwritten with this result.

icstr

Reference numbers of the three variables to be operated on. If only two variables, leave IC blank. If only one, leave IB and IC blank.

Thirty-two character name for identifying the variable on the printout and displays. Embedded blanks are compressed upon output.

factastr

Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).

Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).

factcstr

Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).

Notes

Adds variables (up to three at once) according to the operation:

IR = ( FACTA x IA ) + ( FACTB x IB ) + ( FACTC x IC )
