This command is used to construct an AMD degree-of-freedom numbering object to provide the mapping between the degrees-of-freedom at the nodes and the equation numbers. An AMD numberer uses the approximate minimum degree scheme to order the matrix equations. The command to construct an AMD numberer is a follows:
