Recent improvements to BANDIT
Abstract
The NASTRAN preprocessor BANDIT, which improves NASTRAN's computer efficiency by resequencing grid point labels for reduced matrix bandwidth is described. The addition of (1) the Gibbs-Poole-Stockmeyer (GPS) algorithm, and (2) the user option to reduce matrix profile rather than matrix bandwidth is also described. It is shown that, compared to the Cuthill-McKee algorithm on which BANDIT was originally based, GPS is faster and achieves similar results. Current capabilities and options of BANDIT are summarized.
