System Cell Calls

[NASAJPL]

Hey Y'all...

Anyone Nastran-ing out there know what these do?

INIT MASTER(S)
NASTRAN SYSTEM(442)=-1,SYSTEM(319)=1
SOL (whatever)

for the smart-alecs out there, yeah.. I already looked up descriptions for the system cell calls and INIT statements and stuff. That's not why I or others are asking.
I sorta wanna get some discussion going about this that is above-and-beyond the typical terse explanation documentations (don't) provide.

Pre-Thanks ^^

Dear NASAJPL,
All is in the NASTRAN manuals, the QRG (NASTRAN Quick Reference Guide -- the PDF in FEMAP has 2845 pages!!) is the bible!!.
SYSTEM CELL (442)
Controls if Solution Monitor files are generated for Simcenter 3D Pre/Post and Femap. It is only valid on the platforms supported by Simcenter 3D Pre/Post and Femap.
0: Do not generate (Default).
1: Generate the original solution monitor files and delete after solution completes.
-1: Generate the original solution monitor files and keep after solution completes.
2: Launches the monitor in Simcenter 3D Pre/Post. In case of a DMP run, the monitor will only be displayed on the master node.

SYSTEM CELL (319)
If set to 1, gives extended error messages. If set to 0, only message summaries are reported. (Default=1)

Best regards,
Blas.
