Control volume entities are used to define and store control volumes typically used in safety analysis.  Control volumes are shown under the ControlVolume folder within the Model browser.

Control volumes do not have a display state.

Control volumes have an active and export state.  The active state of a control volume controls the listing of the control volume in the Model browser and any of its views.  If a control volume entity is active, then it is listed in the Model browser and any of its views.  If a control volume entity is inactive, then it is not listed in the Model browser or any of its views.

The export state of a control volume entity controls whether or not that control volume is exported when the custom export option is utilized.  The all export option is not affected by the export state of a control volume.  The active and export states of control volume entities can be controlled using the Entity State browser.

The data names associated with control volumes can be found in the data names section of the HyperMesh Reference Guide.

 

The following panels can be used to create and edit control volumes:

You need to create a new include file, set the include file type as REFSTA and create this card in the include file.

hmtoggle_arrow1LS-DYNA

Entities can be created using the Solver browser. All the supported LS-DYNA keywords appear in the tree view in the Solver browser, sorted by type of input data. To display the Solver browser, select Solver Browser from the View menu.

The complete list of LS-DYNA keywords that are supported are listed below.

An alternate way to identify a supported card is to invoke the "create new keyword" tool. This convenient selection tool can be invoked using the context menu in the Solver browser, using the Create New option in the Tools menu bar.

Once you select a card of interest, the right panel is opened with the necessary options set.

Use the Control Volume panel to control volume objects within a model. The *AIRBAG_OPTION card is output from this panel.  The POP option is supported for WANG_NEFSKE options.

The following keywords are supported:
