New and modified features in Radioss.
The Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics method formulation is used to solve the equations of mechanics, when particles are free from a meshing grid.
Block Format Keyword In this group, keywords are used to set default value, global parameter, analysis type, input/output print, damping and ALE and CFD treatment for the whole model. For default value, it is still possible to overwrite in each specific keywords.
Block Format Keyword In Radioss, two node types are available. They use Cartesian coordinate to describe the position of each node.
Block Format Keyword In this group, keywords are used to combine material and property information (/PART), assemble model (/SUBSET) or define a separate model (//SUBMODEL).
Block Format Keyword Interfaces solve the contact and impact conditions between two parts of a model. Several interface types are available in Radioss and use different contact treatments.
Block Format Keyword Monitored volumes can be used to model an airbag, tire, tank, or any closed volume.
Block Format Keyword Radioss supports several different kinematic constraints, which are mainly used to impose acceleration, velocity, displacement or temperature in structure or constraint the moving of structure. They are mutually exclusive for each degree-of-freedom (DOF). Two kinematic conditions applied to the same node may be incompatible.
Block Format Keyword Set burning times of explosive material elements along a neutral fiber of detonating cord. Neutral fiber is provided with an ordered group of nodes and numerically built by spline interpolation.
Block Format Keyword Enable explosive material ignition from a detonation line [A,B].
Block Format Keyword Describes a planar detonation wave.
Block Format Keyword Locates the detonation point and set lighting time for an explosive material law.
Block Format Keyword Enable to model laser impact taking into account laser-matter interaction. topics/solvers/rad/dfs_laser_starter_r.html#dfs_laser_starter_r__dfs_laser_starter_r_fn_xpw_cfs_b1b
Block Format Keyword Detonation times are computed taking into account an obstacle. The boundary of the obstacle is provided with an ordered group of nodes which defines the screen lines.
Block Format Keyword In this group, tools like transformation, frames, skews, and curve are introduced.
Block Format Keyword Keywords in this group are used to define how to select a group of node, part, elements, lines, or surfaces.
Block Format Keyword Adaptive Meshing is used in metal forming to divide the element to better describe the geometry. /ADMESH/GLOBAL and /ADMESH/SET are not available for SPMD computation.
Block Format Keyword Time histories output for different element groups, section output, or gauge output are described in this group.
Block Format Keyword Keywords that are still supported, but no longer maintained (*) are considered obsolete.
