Data |
Description |
Emax |
Energy error ratio criteria. Defined as the ratio of energy error to total energy of the system. Unlike the error displayed in list files, it has no 99.9% limitation. Default = 1030 |
Mmax |
Total mass ratio criteria. Defined as the ratio of total mass at a given time divided by the initial mass. Default = 1030 |
Nmax |
Nodal mass ratio criteria. Defined for each node as the ratio of its mass divided by its initial mass. The computation is stopped; if, at least, one node meets the criteria. Default = 1030 |
NTH |
Default = 0 = 0: the Engine is stopped without Time History file = 1: a Time History file is written if the Engine is stopped, due to energy error ratio criteria. |
NANIM |
Default = 0 = 0: the Engine is stopped without animation file = 1: an animation file is written if the Engine is stopped, due to energy error ratio criteria. |
1. | The energy error ratio criteria is defined as the ratio of energy error to total energy of the system. Unlike the error displayed in list files, it has no 99.9% limitation. |
2. | The total mass criteria is defined as the ratio of total added mass at a given time divided by the initial total mass. |
3. | The nodal mass ratio criteria is defined for each node as the ratio of its mass divided by its initial mass. The computation is stopped, if at least one node meets the criteria. |
4. | A restart file is written, if the Engine is stopped, due to one of these events. |
