New and modified features in Radioss.
This manual provides a list of all the model definition keywords and options available in Radioss.
This manual provides a list of all the solution definition keywords and options available in Radioss.
Engine Keyword In this group keywords are used to generally define the output style, control of computation, damping and ALE setup during the computation.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used for modification (deletion or add options) in Engine.
Generates animation files containing results according to the keywords specified. The keywords are specified in the topics within Animation and Post-processing Output Files.
Engine Keyword In this group keywords are used for implicit solution. Different implicit solver methods (linear, nonlinear, buckling or quasi-static), different options to control the implicit computation, different implicit time step method and implicit output messages are introduced.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to define the kinematic condition (constrain/release rotation or translation DOF) and initial condition (rotational/translational velocity).
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to define different time step control (STOP, KILL, CST or DEL, and so on) for different entities (shell, brick, beam, airbag, interface, and so on) during the computation.
Engine Keyword In this group, keywords are used to output different info (like stress, strain, orthotropy direction, temperature, and so on) in a state file (STA-File).
Engine Keyword Define time output frequency and parts to be written to the state file.
Engine Keyword Describes the strain state for shell in LS-DYNA format.
Engine Keyword Describes the stress state for shell in LS-DYNA format.
Engine Keyword Describes the internal variable state for beam.
Engine Keyword Describes the internal variable state for beam.
In this group, keywords are used to output different info (like stress, strain, orthotropy direction, temperature…) for solid element in state file (STA-File).
Engine Keyword Define time output frequency and parts to be written to the state file.
Engine Keyword A state file is written with mapping data as functions (/FUNCT) or generated into a binary file.
Engine Keyword A state file is written with mapping data as functions (/FUNCT) or generated into a binary file.
Engine Keyword Writes the state file for only non-deleted elements.
Engine Keyword Boundary conditions for Node. The boundary conditions applied to nodes be written to the state file.
Engine Keyword Describes the temperature for nodes.
Engine Keyword The velocity of a node is written to the state file.
In this group, keywords are used to output different info (like stress, strain, orthotropy direction, temperature…) for shell element in state file (STA-File).
Engine Keyword Describes the internal variable state for spring elements.
Engine Keyword When writing the state file, /INISHE, /INISH3 and /INIBRI will be written in a separate file which can be asked for being compressed (using GZIP) or not. The state file will then resume to the nodes coordinates and element connectivity.
Engine Keyword Describes the internal variable state for truss.
Engine Keyword Keywords that are still supported, but no longer maintained (*) are considered obsolete.
