ALE Materials
Comments
- All characters beyond the tenth of a keyword are ignored (for example, it is possible to input HONEYCOM, instead of HONEYCOMB).
- The Manual Keyword is the keyword of the law as referenced in this manual.
- The Law Number is the material law number used to reference the material law in the fixed format manual.
- The Other Available Keywords column features other keywords which can be used to define the same material laws.
- In addition to the ALE material laws, the material laws 1, 2, 3, 4 and the isotropic material laws with volumetric properties are compatible with the ALE approach. ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) material laws (11, 18, 20, 26, 37 and 51) are described in the ALE options.
- If a node is connected
to an ALE material, the nodal value output to /TH and
Animation files have the following description:
- positions and displacements represent the grid positions and displacements;
- accelerations and velocities represent the material accelerations and velocities.
