/PRINT - Printout

Description

Sets printout frequency for output file.

Format

/PRINT/Nprint

Data

Description

Nprint

Printout every Nprint  cycle on file “Runname_nnnn.out”

Default = -1000

Comments

1.If Nprint is negative, the printout is made in the standard output, as well as in the output file. If Nprint is positive, the printout is only made in the output file.

The energy error in the RADIOSS Engine output file (_0001.out_9999.out) is defined as:

Where,

Ek is kinetic energy

Ekr is rotational kinetic energy

Ei is internal energy

Ek1 is initial translational kinetic energy

Ekr1 is initial rotational kinetic energy

Ei1 is initial internal energy

Ewk is external work

Ewk1 is initial external work

Hourglass energy is not included in internal energy.

Normal amount of hourglass energy is about 10% to 15%.

Hourglass energy is not a true energy error, but a part of internal energy computed with a non-physical equations. If this energy remains small, the assumptions concerning these equations are acceptable.

Initial values are values at cycle zero and not at time zero.

At time t=0, err% =0 the energy error is bounded at symbol_plus-minus 99%.
