This manual provides a list of all the model 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.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing brick element data for the specified result. Options used for BRICK element type.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing damage value as function of a solid element integration point. The damage value is the maximum of damage over time and of all failure criteria acting in one material.
Engine Keyword Generates animation output for the time at which a solid element is deleted. The rupture time is output only for elements which are deleted, due to a /FAIL criterion. Failure criteria built in materials are ignored.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing tensor data (mean value or value in specified integration point) for brick elements, in global coordinate system.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing tensor data for brick elements.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files containing a damage variable value as the function of a brick element. These output variables are only compatible with failure model /FAIL/SNCONNECT.
Engine Keyword Generates animation files to output detonation times in animations for the specified element type.
Engine Keyword
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Engine Keyword Keywords that are still supported, but no longer maintained (*) are considered obsolete.
This manual provides a list of LS-DYNA input files available in Radioss.
Optimization Keyword This manual contains the description of the keywords for the Radioss optimization. This manual is compatible with the version 2018 of Radioss.
This manual contains the description of the keywords for the Radioss Multi-Domain.
