PARAM, STRTHR

Bulk Data Entry Used to specify the von Mises stress threshold above which the stress results are output for a model.

Parameter Values Description
STRTHR <Real ≥ 0.0>

Default = 0.0

This parameter can be used to specify the von Mises stress threshold above which the stress results are output for a model.

Comments

  1. PARAM, STRTHR applies to all static subcases defined within a model. The stress results for a particular element are not output, ONLY if its von Mises stress value falls below STRTHR for ALL static subcases.

    For example, if the von Mises stress results for elements ID=1 and ID=2 fall below the threshold for subcase 1, but are above the threshold for subcase 2; then the stress results for both elements (ID=1 and ID=2) are output for both subcases.

  2. PARAM, STRTHR applies to stress results output in all active formats.
  3. PARAM, STRTHR is supported for static analysis only.
  4. If PARAM, STRTHR is defined in a model, then 1D element stresses are not output, regardless of their stress level or the specified threshold.
