This command is used to construct a sparse symmetric system of equations which uses a row-oriented solution method in the solution phase. To following command is used to construct such a system:

system SparseSYM

NOTES:

• versions upto and including 2.2.0 use SparseSPD instead of sparseSYM as the option to the system command. For backward compatability this old option continues to work.
